RE: Gel Capsule

[Guest guest]

Fay,

Here's what I know. The only thing that will put me back to sleep when I

wake up at 3am occasionally is 2 Ibuprofen liquid gel caps and a Xanax.

None of the other Ibuprofens work as quickly.

I only do this occasionally when I wake up and really, really need some more

hours of sleep.

Does anyone know if we absorb less medicine when it is taken in the form of

liquid gel caps??

Actually, that's my preferred method for OTC drugs. They don't get

stuck, they dissolve quickly in just saliva and body heat, and they seem

kinder on my GERD-irritated esophagus than tablets can be. The exception

is gel cap oil-based vitamins like Vitamin E. We need what's in the oil

there, and don't have much luck getting at it. Regular meds are usually

liquids like you'd buy in a bottle, and tend to be water-based. If you

need to supplement that fat-soluble vitamins, you need to get the dry

form. (I know you know that, but for the benefit of our lurkers...) :-)

HTH,
