I am prescribed with Deltacortil and usually get a regular white ones but today chemist gave me Enteric Coated DeltaCortil. Is there any difference, should i get it changed? or is it ok to use?
enteric coated is even better for stomach
It's the same drug. Rather Deltacortril Enteric coated is relatively safer
you can use this drug if prescribed by your treating physician. But proper follow up is must
there is no difference in the formula except enteric coated is for stomach safety so its better to use than the white simple deltacotril
it is same and more safer than previous one .
may i know why are you using this medicine?
U must take cap risek 40mg daily before meals in morning if u r taking deltacortil ec...... For proper guidance feel free to contact me anytime through marham..

It's OK if ur are using it for short period of time.. If u are taking it for long term. Plz go for enteric coated
No deltacottil EC is better than simple deltacortil . You need not to change it
EC or red one is better , as it will not dosturb stomach in long run. keep on taking EC
yes it is ok to use. Don't worry about side effects as it has been already shared with you by your physician. Strictly monitor your blood pressure, blood sugars, any infection especially white coats on tongue, pain in bones and muscles etc. Do take protection of stomach and your calcium supplements along with extra minutes of exercise in daily routine.
There is no harm in taking enteric coated deltacortil. It will work the same. Enteric coating is supposed to protect your stomach from side effects of deltacortil. But true protection from this side effect comes from taking an anti-ulcer medicine like omeprazole.
Enteric Coating is for protection of stomach erosions which can be caused by Deltacortil so Enteric coated ones are better that way. No difference in effectiveness though.
enteric coated tablets are more friendly to the stomach. steroids are notorious to cause gastric/peptic ulcers. enteric coated tablets can help prevent/worsen such conditions.
It’s ok to use enteric coated, as it will not affect your stomach.
There is not much of an evidence based difference bw the two. Steriods cause gastric ulcers/erosions so they r coated to prevent this process. However, the best is to use stomach capsules to avoid this gastritis e.g omeprazole.
U can use it .. but prolong use of deltacartil is not good .. enteric coated is safe for stomach
Thanks for asking the question. Enteric coated deltacortil is protective for stomach and is a better alternate, so you can use it. Keep in mind if you are using deltacortil for prolong duration then you have to take medicine to protect your stomach and strengthen your bone with vitamin D.
It’s a steroid and I wonder why you are on it. Enteric coated is better because long term use of steroids damages stomach lining. If you are on long term therapy then you need to be on omeprazole or any proton pump inhibitor to protect stomach.
coated is better as it doesnt cause acidity
u can use.its better to have enteric coated.
enteric coated is better option...
it is ok to use the same
Thanks for your question, and it’s ok or even better to use enteric coated tabs to protect the stomach. But would u like to tell the reason of using deltacortil?

it doesn't really matter as long as the deltacortil strength is the same. in fact, the enteric coated would be better for your stomach.
it doesn't really matter as long as the deltacortil strength is the same. in fact, the enteric coated would be better for your stomach. hope it helps. but try to take some stomach medications (omeprazole etc) with oral steroids,
It's ok to use . Enteric Coated Deltacotril has less GIT related side effects
