Answer / ivan
enteric-coated dosage forms are designed to be dissolved in basic medium which is why it dissolves in the small intestine. its material for coating protects the drug from premature degradation in the stomach. if it is taken with alkaline substances such as milk, part of it if not all, will be disintegrated thus being inable to exert its effect on the body
