haha no
they dissolve in your system.

no

wtf?

I should hope not -- they are made to dissolve in your system to get through your system.

yep

The acids in your stomach disolve the pills.. and the chemicals are absorbed into your bloodstream.

There isnt anything left of it to poop out.

no they have to be in your system before you have this affect to your pooping.

They are dissolved in your stomach long before they get that far.

Some pills have a protective coating. Within your body, the active ingredients exit this coating leaving the shell intact. You may very well see these remains in your poop, as you call it. These shell coatings are called ghost pills.
If you want more info, just google ghost pill.

No most dissolve in your system. Though I used to take a potssium pill that had a protective coating and it never dissolved!! Thus I changed meds!!!

Not unless you had no stomach acid, in which case you couldn't process food and you'd be dead. Feel free to collect you faeces and pick through them in the name of science, I think you will be disappointed plus your parents might refer you for psychological evaluation.

Only if you take them as a suppository.

no...ull poop out the degraded product...not the tablet....but if u do poop out the tablet, feel free to reuse them
