Q: Does this have the same quick release ability as the Tylenol brand? Does it have the holes in the capsule to enable quick release or is the quick release in another way?

submitted by Monica - 5 years ago
  • A: I don't see holes, but in the middle of the capsule there seems to be a small stripe of what almost looks and feels papery. It's not plasticy looking like the ends of the capsules. I bought these for arthritis in my back, and I seem to get relief starting in about ten minutes. Sorry I didn't see your question sooner.

    submitted bySkeez - 5 years ago
  • A: There are no holes. They do work, but they ARE NOT GEL FILLED! Inside there is a white solid powdery caplet enclosed in the red and blue so it looks like a gelcap.

submitted by Rawhit - 5 years ago
  • A: Hi Rawhit - Thanks for asking! It doesn't have aspirin in it. Be sure to check the 'Drug facts' tab for more. We're glad you stopped by! - Gao

    Twice now I have been given bottles that a not only with the seal broken but some of the pills are gone. The person pulling the items should check it before give it out. I feel you are denting the open seals on purpose.

    Bought a bottle of these and had a ton of the pills broken in half. I’m pregnant & can’t just be hoping two half’s equal a whole pill. This is ridiculous.

    Bought a 50 count of these almost exactly one year ago to the date for $2.79. Now the 50 count is $4.19. A 50% markup in one year. Pretty ridiculous. I’ll switch to the non gelcap pills for a better price.

    JennyNH - 9 months ago, Verified purchaser
    Great price for a great product. I highly prefer the gelcaps over the caplets because they work so much faster, and honestly, better, for headaches. Sometimes the caplets don’t even feel like they work for me. The only con is the artificial food coloring they use in these. Up&Up has taken initiate in some of their other products (like their dye-free children’s acetaminophen) and I hope they soon also offer dye-free for adults and across the board.

    This is the 2nd bottle that I've puchased that has broken capsels in it. I'm all about saving money (for a generic brand) however, I don't trust a product that the quality is consistently compromised.

    Boy mom - 11 months ago, Verified purchaser
    These are solid pills with a red and blue coating on each end, NOT gel caps! False advertising. Also many were broken inside the bottle, which really freaked me out. Would not recommend. Did Target change this item? I thought they used to be actual gel caps.

    When I opened the seal several (8) of the caplets were broken in half. I have never experienced this before and it made me nervous to even take any of them. I will actually be returning the bottle to Target.
