A member asked:
Do film coated tablets alter the effect the active ingrdt has on the body compared to other tablets e.g does its effect last longer in the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tablets : some medications are designed to have a different kinetic once taken. Each pill will say if they are designed to be such. They don't alter the mediation but alter the kinetics as to how many does you need to take how fast the drug gets into your system etc. hope this helps
