Question: I started taking these capsules and!.!.!.!.!.10 pts waiting!?
I started taking cod liver oil capsules, the problem is I cant swallow capsules, will it have the same effect if i just get whats inside the capsule without the gelatin cover as a temporary solution

Because i was able to swallow one capsules using the "leaning forward" technique but it was only once!

Another question can I decrease the dosage to 3 capsules instead on the 6 capsules as recommend on the pack!?

Thanks

Answers:
If you can't swallow the cod liver oil capsules its best to choose the syrup form as an alternative!. However, it would be sad to throw off those capsules just like that!. Temporarily taking the oil out of the gelatin cover won't change the components/properties of the drug!. The only thing that it may affect though is the onset and peak of effectiveness as it would be absorbed by your stomach faster without the gelatin encapsulating it!. In addition, the half life of the drug will be affected and it is the time it takes for the drug to lose half of its pharmacologic activity!. Nevertheless, taking the oil out from the capsule will not allow it to lose its effectiveness!.

Also, if you have taken the cod liver capsules without prescription then you should follow the directions as stipulated on the pack!. However, take note that if you change the dosage, then you would alter the effectiveness of the drug as 6 capsules are more effective than 3!.

It can be unhealthy and even dangerous to just take what is on the inside!. Depending on what the reason behind your starting these capsules is, you can reduce the intake!. If however it is for a medical reason and recommended by your doctor, you may want to take the full amount!. Also, see if there are any different forms of cod liver oil to take instead of the huge capsules!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Cod liver oil comes in a liquid form!. My mother used to make me swallow a spoonful every day before I went off to school!. Yech!! But looking back on it, it kept me healthy!. The whole neighborhood would be out with the flu, but me and my siblings would be in school every day!. You'll get used to the taste and it only lasts for a second!. Just have something tasty as chaser standing by!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You would be better using the liquid cod liver oil which will give you the benefits of the capsules minus the draw backsWww@Answer-Health@Com
