Drug does Not digest; passes in stool. I placed the pill in water , it took hours to dissolve, I hydrate regularly due to cancer treatment , but even hydration doesn’t dissolve pills.

This pill also passes threw me and I was going to stop taken it until I learned that the body sucks the potassium from the pill and the leftover pill is discarded.

the pill does not resolve, it passes through me whole, completely undissolved. I put a pill into a glass of water mixed with vinegar and it was still whole after 48 hours. In my opinion it is useless and I will report it to my Doctor and Pharmacyst.
