Forums Health Tablets v Capsules Reply To: Tablets v Capsules May 19, 2018 at 9:33 am #313 martha 5 Posts Hi SallyG, they are co-codamol so are capsule and tablet although it does say capsule on my prescription after I had a conversation with the GP as I found that no matter how quickly you swig them down your throat the chalk type get stuck and leave a terrible bitter taste that makes me gag. I can take capsule tablets without a problem, I normally take five three times a day (of different types not codeine I should say! so its not me being awkward lol). Yes I get the impression they are cutting corners. I may be wrong but there have been one or two people I know that go there and have had similar problems (tablets missing, or a different manufacturer from normal). Thanks for your help
