Question:

How do you know if a pill has an enteric coating on it? I have a very hard time swallowing pills and I bought

a pill crusher and it says Enteric-coated tablets are intended to be swallowed whole and should never be crushed before taking. There is no way I can swallow this pill whole so I need to make sure the coating it has on it isn't an Enteric coating. The pill is Centrum Cardio if that helps.

Answer:

Enteric Coated Vitamins
The Centrum package would clearly state enteric coated if the pills were enteric coated. The coating is for the protection of your digestive tract, such as when aspirin is enteric coated. Vitamins do not damage the digestive tract, so go ahead and use your pill crusher.
