It is not at all advised to take GALLMET bile acid capsules without the capsule for the following reasons:
- The contents of the capsule must pass directly into the duodenum and this is ensured by the capsule shell, which is resistant to stomach acid, so it only passes through the stomach and only falls apart in the duodenum, where the bile duct is connected.
- The contents of the capsules without the capsule shell may have a small chance of being carcinogenic (carcinogenic) in the stomach, but in the long term.
- The contents of the capsules are so bitter and unpleasant smelling that they can even cause nausea.
GALLMET bile acid capsules should be swallowed with plenty of liquid or a well-chewed meal (without chewing the capsule) while eating.
