How long does it usually take for a capsule pill to dissolve into your body?

Question

i take prozac and wondered if anyone knew how long it takes for it to take effect

Answer 1

A capsule is the soft type and that soft outer pill is dissolved in minutes. The type of medication dispensed in these type pills are absorbed very rapidly after cap. is dissolved.

Answer 2

Prozac is an anti-depressant, so it doesn't matter how long it takes for it to dissolve into your body because it doesn't have an immediate "effect" on you. All anti-depressants take anywhere from 3-6 weeks to actually start doing what they are prescribed for. They're not like a regular medicine like a painkiller that starts working as soon as it dissolves and is absorbed into your system. It has to be taken consistently for several weeks, where it has to "build up" in your system before you start to see results from taking it. You may wanna check webmd or other websites like that to get more information on the medication.
