What happens if the stuff inside a pill capsule comes out in my mouth but I swallow it anyway?

presidentrichardnixon asked:


Just a pill with a gelatin coating and amoxicillin powder inside. Does it matter if some came out in my mouth? It all got to the same place. Right?

   You’re right!!! It all goes to the stomache, and is finally dispersed into the blood stream, no worries!

   Its harmless, just wash it down with alot of water to insure you get that yucky taste out of your mouth. You will be fine.

   yeah, but you may want to re rinse with water since some of that stuff may harm the enamel of your teeth.. plus it’s good anyways since the powder is nasty

   it just acts faster because it is absorbed in your mouth
