What coated tablet dissolves in the intestines?
A coated tablet that dissolves in the intestines is known as an enteric-coated tablet. This type of tablet is designed with a special coating that protects it from dissolving in the acidic environment of the stomach, allowing it to pass through to the intestines where it can dissolve and release its active ingredients. This formulation is often used for medications that may irritate the stomach or for those that are better absorbed in the intestines.

However, some specific formulations may differ, so it's always best to check the specific product details.
Why are tablets coated?
