Drink Water Before Taking HPMC Capsules
Which comes first, medicine or water? Drink water before taking capsules and before taking syrup.
Most people know that pills and capsules need to be taken with water. However, if this small dose of medicine is taken at the wrong time, it may cause discomfort and even affect the efficacy of the medicine.
The best drink for taking medicine is plain boiled water. Water can lubricate the esophagus, accelerate the dissolution of drugs in the stomach and promote absorption. In addition, water can reduce the damage of food and gastric acid to drugs and alleviate the irritation of drugs to the gastrointestinal tract. The requirements for drinking water when taking different dosage forms of drugs orally are slightly different:
Capsules
Drink some water first to prevent your mouth from getting stuck. If the capsule is poured onto your palm, it will easily feel sticky, just like it stuck to your hand. Taking medicine is the same. If your mouth is very dry, taking capsules directly will easily stick to your mouth and be difficult to swallow. If it adheres to the esophageal wall, it may cause damage and, in severe cases, lead to ulcers. Before taking the capsules, drink about 50 to 100ml of water to keep your mouth moist, which can prevent this from happening. After putting the capsule in your mouth, drink about 200 milliliters of water to help you swallow it.
Oral disintegrating tablets
Don't drink water until it is completely decomposed. Oral disintegrating tablets can disintegrate rapidly in the mouth, take effect quickly, and are suitable for children and the elderly. This medicine should not be consumed when taking it, otherwise it will affect its efficacy. Wait until the orally disintegrating tablets are completely decomposed before drinking.
