Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 so what about a child who cannot swallow the capsules? Can the contents be mixed with food and the outer capsule thrown out? My son's meds have to be crushed so I was wondering, especially since I just ordered the Peptizide and Zyme prime.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 The capsules can take up to 30 minutes to dissolve. You may empty the contents into the first few bites of food or into some liquid to drink. I will repost the mixing file for some ideas. > > i took two peptizyde capsules, emptied thier > > contents out, put the > > capsules back together and held one one in my mouth > > and it dissolved > > enough to break the capsule in several minutes. > > the other i put in water at body temperature and it > > too dissolved > > enough to break the seal after several minutes. i > > did move the > > capsules around a bit as i couldn't help it and it > > seems something > > that would happen in the body anyway. > > > > so as far as i can see they will dissolve in the > > stomach after > > several minutes anyway, > > > > so i don't quite understand the view that people > > have that they take > > a while to dissolve. > > > > just as a matter of interest does anyone know why > > cellulose capsules > > and not gelatine are used? > > > > > > > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
