Enteric coating prevents an irritating drug from causing a(n):
A. idiosyncratic reaction
B. ulcer of the stomach
C. burning of the skin
D. bitter flavor
b
Rationale: Enteric coating helps to keep an irritating drug from causing a stomach ulcer. Idiosyncratic reactions may be caused by all types of drugs.
Enteric coating is intended to protect the GI tract from a drug's possibly irritating effects, so topical drugs would not need en-teric coating. There is little to no flavoring of enteric-coated drugs.
