ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration of enteric-coated, gastro-resistant formulations of peppermint oil (e.g., delayed or sustained release capsules) with food may cause premature dissolution of the enteric coating and early release of the peppermint oil, which could lead to gastrointestinal irritation and reduced therapeutic effects.

MANAGEMENT: Enteric-coated, gastro-resistant formulations of peppermint oil should not be taken immediately after eating. These products should preferably be taken 30 to 90 minutes before a meal with water. The labeling for the specific product should be consulted for administration recommendations and other guidance.
