A soft gelatin capsule is a type of capsule that is usually used to contain medicine in the form of liquid or powder, and which dissolves more quickly than a hard gelatin capsule. Soft gelatin capsules dissolve readily in the gastric juices of the stomach, and may work faster than other capsules.

Swallow a capsule or tablet whole and do not crush, chew, or break it. Use multivitamins and minerals regularly to get the most benefit. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the liquid medicine from freezing.

Originally Answered: How long does a capsule take to dissolve in your body? A gelatin capsule dissolves in about 10–20 minutes. Faster if the stomach contents are warm and wet, slower if the contents are cold and/or not wet. A methylcellulose (veggie) cap takes longer, maybe 25–50 minutes.
