Caplets are an oval shaped, smooth medicine therefore easier to swallow and tamper-resistant compared to the tablets which are chalky and dryer to take. Caplets act faster too, to get into the system.

Nothing really as far as how they work. It is the dose you need to know about not the type of pill. They are just shaped different.


Do Advil pm liquid gel caps work faster than Advil tablets?

Just today I did an experiment for my chemistry class testing the rates at which Advil tablets, caplets, gel caplets, and Liquid-gels dissolve in simulated stomach acid. I used diluted Hydrochloric acid to simulate the stomach acid. I assume in water each will take longer to dissolve, but they will still dissolve in the same order.In the acid, Caplets and Tablets both opened completely and were a fine powder on the bottom of the container after 10 minutes.After 30 minutes, the Liquid-gel had gotten soft and the contents leaked out from two spots. It took over an hour and a half for all of the contents to leave the gel coating.The Gel Caplets I really recommend taking only if the three above are not available. After and hour and a half, the coating became soft but was not open anywhere. When I finally removed it from the acid, the coating tore and inside was the ibuprofin powder, completely dry and shaped just like the original pill.So quickest to slowest dissolving rate:Caplets/Tablets, Liquid-Gels, Gel Caplets

Dependeing on what you are trying to do... Place them in your mouth and bite down on them. Remove caplets when they are empty. If not for that purpose, cut a small hole in the ends and placed where desired.

How often can you take Tylenol for headaches or muscle pain?

You should not take more than 4000 mg of acetaminophen a day. Taking more, especially 7000 mg or more, can lead to a severe overdose if not treated. 4000 mg of acetaminophen corresponds to 8 extra-strength tablets/caplets or about 12 regular strength tablets/caplets. Since most people take them 2 at a time, you should not take extra-strength tablets more than 4 times in 24 hours (every 6 hours) or regular strength tablets more than 6 times a day (every 4 hours). Even those levels are not good over a prolonged period of time - so if you have been taking the maximum recommended amounts for more than a few days, you probably want to consult with a doctor or nurse or pharmacist before you continue taking that much.
