Just swallowed 2 Nyquil and they were unpleasantly large to swallow. Got me wondering.
In: Biology
Nyquil has about 350 mg of active ingredients. That’s most of the pill. The total pill is a little over 500 mg. The rest is some that make up the coating and some for appearance purposes. Small amounts help to stabilize the drugs against break down. At the end of the day, a smaller Nyquil pill just means you need to take more.
Drugs with 10mg of active drug are generally smaller pills. They have some “useless” ingredients that serve as binders to hold the pill together. However these pills rarely are larger than 100 mg total. They’re much smaller than the Nyquil. Big pills are typically transporting lots of drug.
