Guest guest Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 The ones shaped like a CAPsule, but are tabLETS are CAP-LETS. Gel caps are gelatin capsules. usually the two part thingies with powder inside. Softgels are those egg looking ones with liquid inside. Kinda squishy to the tough? Those are technical descriptions, you'll note. The kind I understand. Does that help? Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 I take gel cap tylenols all the time. Didnt take anything for the first year or so. But six years out, even 2 years out I take tylenol when I need it. The gel caps slide down much easier than the plain one that do stick??? hugzzz flo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
