How long does it take for a tablet to dissolve after you swallow it?
Answers:
It depends on the tablet. The dissolving time of a tablet can be modified to suit any number of applications. Immediate release tablets can dissolve in the mouth or in the stomach over a period of from 10 seconds to maybe two hours (though 20-45 minutes is typical). Furthermore, if the tablet is coated to prevent dissolving in the stomach, it will not dissolve until it reaches the intestines where the pH is less acidic. This could be more than two hours later.
In addition to that, the tablet could be designed to release drug slowly over a period of hours.
Even after the tablet has broken up, it may take the drug a little longer to dissolve, so tablet dissolving time does not necessarily ensure rapid uptake.
it depends on the tablet
that all depends on the coating on the tablet
Well, I know that it takes over the counter pain medication in tablet form about 20 mins to get into your system, hope that helps.
your acids in your stomach dissolve most things within minutes.
such is the strength of the acids
Depens on the coating, some tablets are ment to dissolve in your bowels and take longer to dissolve
It depends entirely on the tablet. Both the coating and the physical or chemical form of any drug substance can be altered to provide rapid or slow release of the drug, not just in the stomach but in the intestine as well. You may as well ask the length of a piece of string!
Depends on what kind of tablet you take. Some are made to dissolve in your stomach or mouth, so they start dissolving immediately after taking. On the other hand some tablets are made to last through gastric acid and start dissolving in intestines, which can take hours.
