    Because the efficacy of cold water swallowing will be better, the dissolution speed of cold water swallowed capsule is slower, and it can be better absorbed, but if hot water is used, the shell of the capsule will be dissolved quickly, and the drug will be released in advance, which will affect the efficacy.

    With the reform and opening up and the development of economic construction, China's economy has become more and more developed, and medicine has become more and more developed. Nowadays, there are many medicines in the hospital that are capsule-type, but many people do not know whether it is better to swallow the capsule with cold water or hot water. Recently, I have heard some people say that capsules should be swallowed with cold water, but some people disagree, saying that capsules should also be taken with hot water.

    So which statement is true? Let's give you a detailed explanation of which method is more correct.

    In fact, according to scientific research, it is better to swallow capsules with cold water. The outer shell of the capsule is basically made of gelatin, which slowly absorbs water in cold water and then softens.

    However, gelatin will melt quickly in hot water, and will also dissolve, if the capsule is taken with hot water, the capsule shell will be destroyed, and the drug inside will be released in advance, thus affecting the practicability, effectiveness and safety of the capsule. Therefore, it is better for people to take capsules with cold water or lukewarm water, so as to ensure the medicinal properties and safety of capsules.

    When people take capsules, there are many things that they don't notice, in fact, there are also things to pay attention to when taking capsules, so let's talk about the precautions for taking capsules.

    1. Now many people say that there are some capsules on the market that are poisonous capsules, and the harm of poisonous capsules to the human body is very great, so everyone should go to some big hospitals to get capsules through formal channels when taking capsule medicines. In this way, the occurrence of toxic capsules can be reduced.

    2. Secondly, don't take the capsule apart directly, some children feel that the capsule can't be swallowed, and then the medicine is disassembled and soaked in water to drink, in fact, this practice is wrong, if the capsule is taken directly, it will cause the efficacy of the capsule to be reduced.

    3. Also, the above mentioned do not swallow with hot water, it is best to swallow with cold or warm water. When taking the capsule, you should not eat it dry, and swallow it directly without water. If you eat the capsule, sometimes the capsule will not be able to enter the stomach quickly, and will adhere to the esophagus, if it is attached to the esophagus, some of the drugs in it are likely to be released, and then harm the esophagus, and in severe cases, it will cause mucosal damage or ulcers.

    Taking capsules with cold water will slow down the rate at which the capsules dissolve, affecting the release and absorption of the drug!

    Capsule medications should be taken with warm water!

    Cold or cold boiled water can be used to take capsules, but hot and scalding water cannot be used to take capsules. Because the edible capsule is made of bone glue, it will dissolve quickly when it encounters hot water, but it is not in the stomach, if it is not completely dissolved, it is easy to stick to the throat and cause discomfort, and it is easy to cause accidents to children, which is basic common sense.

    The formulation of this question is unprofessional.

    Empty capsules are mainly made of bone gelatin or porcine skin gelatin. As a medicine, it has the advantage of masking the bitter taste and odor of the drug; Onset of action faster than pressure-affected dosage forms such as tablets; Liquid drugs can be made into solid dosage forms for easy consumption; It can be localized for drug release (e.g., drugs that are easily destroyed in the stomach can be made into enteric-coated capsules so that they can be absorbed in the small intestine); Delay drug release.

    Although capsules are easy to take, they can sometimes cause burns to the esophagus due to improper use. For example, some people like to use hot water to take capsule drugs, but this will make the capsule dissolve quickly, and the capsule skin is easy to stick to the throat or esophagus. Therefore, capsules should be taken with cold water as much as possible, and do not choose hot water or juice.

100% snow cold.

In winter, before or when it snows, the warm and humid air is generally active, the southwest wind blows at high altitude, the weather is somewhat warmer, and the water vapor condenses into snowflakes to release a certain amount of heat, which makes the weather not very cold before or during snow. When the snowfall is over and the weather clears, it is generally accompanied by cold air moving southward, turning northerly at high altitude, and the ground is controlled by cold air masses, and the temperature is obviously going to drop. At the same time, when the snow melts, it absorbs a lot of heat, so the weather is colder than when it snows. >>>More
