EASTMAN C-A-P
Cellacefate USP/NF, EP, JP

C-A-P or cellulose acetate phthalate is a pH sensitive cellulose derivative designed for enteric coating of solid dosage forms. C-A-P enteric coating material withstands prolonged contact with acidic gastric fluids, but dissolves readily in the mildly acidic to neutral environment of the small intestine. C-A-P is compatible with many plasticizers and also used in combination with other coating agents for drug controlled-release preparations.
