German term or phrase: Mantel und Überzug
I need to differentiate between "Mantel" and "Überzug" of a pill. The SPC of that particular product uses "Undercoating" and "Enteric coating", respectively (https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/medicine/2577), but I find the translations published on EMC often unsatisfactory. Tips will be much appreciated.
