ORYNOCOAT ECA details
The perfect blend of art and science in coating materials
ORYNOCOAT® ECA is an aqueous enteric coating system designed to protect active pharmaceutical ingredients from the acidic environment of the stomach. It dissolves only at higher pH levels in the intestine, ensuring pH-dependent release and improving drug stability and absorption.
- Gastro-Resistance Prevents dissolution in the stomach, protecting acid-sensitive APIs.
- Targeted Release Releases the active drug in the alkaline pH of the small intestine, enhancing absorption and reducing gastric irritation.
- Aqueous System Offers a safer, eco-friendly alternative to solvent-based coatings.
- Improved Patient Compliance Reduces side effects and enhances dosing convenience in pH-dependent drug therapies.
