Due to the frequent occurrence of medicine capsules, people are very concerned about capsules. Many people think that the capsules are ineffective, so they take the capsules out and swallow the powder. It is often not possible to remove the inner capsule and retain the capsule. It is impossible to dissolve it in gastric juice because the original medicine is only dissolved and absorbed in intestinal juice. If you take the capsule, the medicine is released earlier, reducing the effect of the medicine and causing damage to the stomach and esophagus. The latter slowly releases the medicine, delays the release, absorption, metabolism and detoxification of the medicine in the body, and maintains the concentration of the medicine in the blood.
Many people develop the habit of drinking water while taking medicine and sitting with their heads raised. This action releases the medicine and causes it to slide quickly out of the esophagus. After eating such capsules, it is easy to drink water, but the capsules stick to food and cause constipation. The best way to take the capsules is to stand and move. If you are taking the medicine while sitting, keep your head up and upright so that the capsule does not stick to your throat or esophagus. Do not go to bed immediately after taking the medicine, you need to wait a minute to help the medicine pass quickly through the esophagus and into the stomach. But cod liver oil capsules can be taken like regular medicine.
3. Drink warm water
Many capsules are soluble gels. When taken with hot water above 40°C, the medicine dissolves rapidly, and the medicine in the capsule is pre-released. Some medications can irritate the esophagus and damage the lining of the esophagus. Also, some medicines contain live bacteria that are not activated and reduce their effects in high water temperatures. Use hot water as much as possible to deliver medicine. Before taking the medicine, take 2-3 liters of water orally to cool the esophagus, then put the medicine into the capsule in the mouth, swallow it, and finally drink the water from the ruptured capsule in the appetizer.
