Does drinking soda with a medicine pill make it dissolve faster once it is swallowed?

AnswerThe pill that you take will dissolve from the acid & digestive juices in your stomach. Taking the pill with hot or cold water will it dissolve faster or slower respectively. There are factors that could make the pill dissolve slower - if there are other food items in your stomach or if you take the pill with milk. So taking the pill with plain cold water is fine as that's what the normal case when pills are tested. It's a basic principal in chemistry that heat, agitation, pressure speed up the rate at which substances mix. You can test it yourself and see: put one pill in cold water, one pill in hot water, and one pill in hot water that you stir and see which dissolves fastest.

The difference between coated and uncoated Tylenol is if the pill has a plastic coating or not. If the Tylenol had a smooth plastic coating on the outside of the pill it is said to be coated. If it just a pill and has no plastic cover on the pill it is said to be uncoated. Other then the feel and look of the pill there is no different between the pill.
