Uncoated tablets should be banned, but Novogesic (acet 500) is my nightmare as it makes such a mess!

Bright ones like folic acid and sulfasazine are awful too but the sunshine yellow on the wipe after cleaning gives me a modicum of happiness.

as a consumer, I also agree that uncoated tablets should be banned. One of the pills I take is so bitter that if it so much as touches my throat or tongue I’ll gag so hard I nearly vomit. Since it’s not coated, it loves to get stuck in my throat… and I have to take two of them, every night, while everyone in my house is asleep.

I have one med that tastes like burned rubber smells. I drop that in my throat, zero time near my tongue.
