Are empty capsules harmful to the body?

In general, empty capsules are not harmful to the body. However, during the process of taking the capsules, it is important to drink plenty of water to prevent the capsules from getting stuck in the throat and causing discomfort.

empty capsules are mainly composed of materials such as gelatin and starch, and their production needs to meet medical standards. After consumption, they can dissolve and digest in the stomach on their own, without burdening the gastrointestinal organs, so they will not cause harm to the body.

In addition, empty capsules can effectively mask the irritating odor and bitter taste of drugs, alleviate the stimulation of drug odor on patients, prevent drug particles from choking into the trachea, facilitate patient administration, and ensure that drugs enter the body, which can help accurately exert their therapeutic effects. At the same time, some drugs may lose their effectiveness if they are not protected by the capsule shell.
