Hi,

I have to take Vitamin supplements. One of them (glucosamine and msm) is in a capsule and I break it open and drink - yuck!

The other is a large softgel cap (coq10). I cut it in 3 pieces and then the stuff bulges out. After swallowing it tastes horrible. I'm wondering if I am hurting myself by doing this and opening the pill. I mean, is the reason the meds are in the soft gel because it would burn the esopoghas going down?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

I can take all size of pills no problem. I initially cut my pills in 1/2. But after I discovered they would go down, I take them whole.
