Enteric-coated, huh? I wonder if they make that in a bacon flavor. Now that's the kind of medication I can get behind!

I don't think they make bacon flavored enteric-coated medication, but that would be cool!

Buffered, huh? Sounds like something my grandma would take. Enteric-coated is the only choice for a millennial like me.

Controlled release? That's for lazy people. I want my medication to work fast and hard, like me!

Buccal? Really? I'd rather not have to hold my medication in my cheek like a hamster. Enteric-coated is the clear winner here.

Hmm, I think enteric-coated is the way to go. Why would I want my medication to dissolve in my stomach? That's just asking for trouble!

I'm not sure, but Controlled release could also be a possibility since it controls the rate of release over time.
