So, I got some Biotin from my doc. It's in a capsule. Is a capsule ok to take?

I have heard from two people here that they got a pill stuck and damaged their band to the point of having an erosion...why risk it! I chew all pills or take liquids...

I've been taking Biotin in capsule form fine but I also have never had a fill yet. I imagine I will not be able to continue once that happens.

I take Biotin in a capsule, but post-op I would open the capsule and sprinkle over a spoonful of pudding or applesauce. It's not XR or extended release, so it doesn't matter if you open it up.

They do make sub-lingual Biotin. It just melts under your tongue. You can get it at health food stores.

Like Honk the Biotin I get are tiny! My Vit D capsules are a little bigger than the biotin and with 2 fills and decent restriction I have never had a problem with them. Mucinex pills and most other hard/big pills I wont try, but I have been told my many if it is smaller than an m&m it is generally good to go.
