When we get disease, we often take medicines offered by doctors and most of medicines are capsules. There is a way to judge the quality of capsules: put the capsule into the water, and if it is floating in water and insoluble, it will accumulate in stomach or intestine and even stick on stomach wall after taking. After long time, it will damage the health seriously. Do these claims have scientific basis? Does the drug capsule cause any kind of harm to the human body?

When we get disease, we often take medicines offered by doctors and most of medicines are capsules. There is a way to judge the quality of capsules: put the capsule into the water, and if it is floating in water and insoluble, it will accumulate in stomach or intestine and even stick on stomach wall after taking. After long time, it will damage the health seriously. Do these claims have scientific basis? Does the drug capsule cause any kind of harm to the human body?
After oral taking, the capsule will go through the esophagus, stomach and enter into the small intestine. As we all know, the body temperature of body is about 37 ℃; the gastric juice is acidic and the intestine is alkaline; and the stomach and the intestine are constantly peristaltic. Therefore, the drug capsules equality should be evaluated according to the particular specifications and dissolution and artificial body environment. The drugs sold in market should be tested by the pharmaceutical quality control personnel, and some medicines should be spot checked by the drug test of all levels. So, they must be qualified enough. The patients’ pursuit attitude of drug safety and effectiveness are good; but because of different professional fields, common people are not drug examination experts and they do not have the pharmacy professional knowledge. So they have no knowledge about the regulations of water temperature, liquid medium categories and water movement. If people do static experiments, they often believe these conclusions made by themselves. However, this method is not correct from scientific aspect.
Some patients do not pay attention to the correct medicine intake method to swallow capsules, resulting in the water absorption of gelatin and attaching to the esophagus. The esophagus is moist, but the local medicine concentration is excessive high, which will endanger the esophagus and cause mucosal injury or even ulceration.
The correct way is listed as follows: Prepare a cup of 100 ml warm water, and drink some water first to moisturize the throat and esophagus; then take the capsule with water to swallow them together with your head backward; drink the rest water to ensure the capsule has been flushed into the stomach. Do not pour out the content in capsule and take with water; other the functions of them could not play roles.
