　　Taking medicine in water that is too hot may have some disadvantages. Most of the time, the purpose of putting medicines into empty capsules is to cover up the bad taste of the medicines, and if the capsules are eaten with too hot water, the capsules will be destroyed in advance, and the taste will be very bad. Moreover, in hot water, the capsules will become soft and sticky, and if you don't drink enough water, the capsules may stick to the esophagus.

　　Therefore, when taking capsules, you can take them with cold or lukewarm water. More attention should be paid to the quantity of water than the temperature of the water. Many people only drink a sip of water when taking medicine, or simply swallow dryly. They should drink more water to ensure that the medicine can reach the stomach smoothly and reduce the irritation of some medicines to the esophagus.

　　In fact, according to scientific research, taking capsules is best swallowed with cold water. The shell composition of the capsule is gelatin, which slowly absorbs water in cold water and becomes soft.

　　But gelatin melts rapidly in hot water, dissolves, takes capsule with hot water, and empty gelatin capsules destroy, and Chinese medicine is released ahead of time, which affects the practicability, effectiveness, and safety of capsule medicine. Therefore, people should use cold water or warm water when taking capsules, to ensure their medicinal properties and safety of the capsules.

　　When people take capsules, many people don’t notice. There are precautions for taking capsules. Next, let’s talk about the precautions for taking capsules.

　　1. Among the capsules sold in the market, there are poisonous capsules. Toxic capsules are very harmful to the human body. Therefore, when taking capsule medicines, you must go through regular channels and take capsule medicines in large hospitals. This can reduce the occurrence of poisonous capsules.

　　2. Secondly, do not take the capsules apart take them directly. Some children feel that the capsules cannot be swallowed, so they take the medicine apart and drink it with water. This approach is wrong. If you take the capsules apart and take them directly, It will reduce the efficacy of the capsule medicine.

　　3. Also, do not swallow with hot water as mentioned above, it is best to swallow with cold or warm water. Do not eat when taking capsule medicine, and do not swallow directly with water. If you take a capsule, the capsule sometimes goes into the stomach very quickly and can become attached to the esophagus. If attached to the esophagus, some of the drugs are likely to be released and then cause damage to the esophagus or damage to the ulcer.

　　The correct way to take capsule medicine is to pour a glass of moderate-temperature water first, and then drink it while standing or sitting. First, take a sip of water to moisten your throat, then put the capsule in your mouth, take a sip of water and swallow it directly. Remember to drink a few more sips of water after taking the medicine, so that the capsule can quickly enter the stomach, and the effectiveness and safety of the capsule will also be guaranteed.
