I one does not take enough water with things, or sometimes lies down right after...you can burn you esophagus severely.
I recall one doctor (husband's family gp) I had when I was in my 20's...He foolishly swallowed a 500mg tetracycline pill, without water...and it dissolved in his esophagus and gave him a horrible 2 weeks burn.
Capsules open quickly. Tablets can take 20 minutes or 1/2 hour to disperse. So you will want to wash down the capsule with 6-8 ounces of water.
