Directions to Take a Rapid-Release Capsule

Rapid-release capsules are meant for people who need to quickly absorb medicine into their systems. Pain medication like oxycodone may come in rapid-release pills so that the medication can start managing pain right away. Taking a rapid release pill is almost the exact same process as taking any other sort of medication found in pill form.

Instructions

• 1

  Measure out the appropriate dose. If you need one capsule, don't take more, but if you need two capsules, take them both at the same time.

• 2

  Pour a glass of drinkable liquid. Water is good, but lemonade or even soda should work equally well. Avoid mixing rapid-release capsules with alcohol.

• 3

  Put the pills in your mouth. Take a drink of your liquid of choice. Swallow both pills and liquid. Swallow the capsules whole; don't chew or grind them before swallowing.
