Main functions and effects of enteric-coated capsules:
1. Reduced drug dosage: Prevents stomach acid from corroding the drug, reducing the dosage while maintaining efficacy.
2. Prolonged duration of action: Increases the residence time of the drug in the small intestine, improving absorption.
3. Protects the gastric mucosa: Avoids direct irritation of the stomach by the drug, alleviating symptoms such as acid reflux and vomiting.
4. Promotes intestinal peristalsis: For example, compound glutamine enteric-coated capsules can improve digestive function.
5. Ensures efficacy: Protects the drug as it passes through the stomach to reach the lesion site.
