Best Answer

Capsules allow a substance to be released quickly and all at once. As opposed to a large solid that takes some time to dissolve in the stomach, once the thing shell is dissolved, the powder is released right away.

Can clindamycin cause a bitter after taste in the mouth?

Practically any medication can cause a bad taste in the mouth, depending on its system of delivery. Generally, pills or capsules that can be swallowed with a drink of water may not immediately cause a bad taste, but may do so later on after it's ingested. Some people cannot swallow pills or capsules, and either crush pills or open capsules. While some medicines are tasteless, others have an extremely bitter or sour taste. So if you take medication without swallowing it with water, you will have a bad taste. If you must crush a pill or open a capsule, mix the contents in a spoon with honey, yogurt or jelly to disguise the taste. Follow with plenty of water.
