Actually I thinkthat it is a marketing ploy though I do stand corrected. Perhaps it DOES dissolve faster. Thanks.

I think I read on the label they have tiny laser holes in the gel cap. I honestly don't notice much of a difference. May be??

it's all in how fast they dissolve. there is nothing chemically different. the only way they can keep on making $ is the keep coming up with different ways to market the same old sh&^

there are tiny holes in the capsule so that when you swallow it the medicine is "rapid release" .now this sounds all great .but how rapid is it? not much of a difference considering that the holes are so tiny that the medicine doesn't leak out in the bottle..so in theory it wouldn't leak out in your mouth or esophagus either..so it basically takes the same amount of time because the pill hits your stomach acid at the same time as the regular release..

For someone who suffers from migraines, they differ a lot! The rapid release gels will ease my pain in about fifteen minutes where the regulars take at least 45 minutes for me.

its all mental. there may be miniscule diffrence but on the whole congrats to they tylenol marketing team. stomach still absorbs at the same speed. only way to get true speed is Intravenously.

Theoretically they release the medication and allow you to absorb it more quickly then a regular tylenol gel would. The little holes in the capsule allow your stomach acid to dissolve the capsule much more quickly since it is dissolving the capsule from both the outside and the inside if that makes sense. The FDA would not allow them to make the claim of rapid release if it did not work a little faster than the regular gels. Still, there are a lot of variants in terms of whether you had a meal before you took the medication, if you have other pre-existing conditions, etc. that would factor in whether it actually works more quickly or not. Long story short, if you're willing to pay a couple of extra bucks for the possibility that you'll get quicker pain relief, go for it.

SEEMS FAIRLY SELF EXPLANATORY

The drug is put into the form of a carrier that dissolves more rapidly, putting the drug in your blookstream, and therefore your brain recieves the drug more quickly, Quicker isn't always better. Slow absorption means more staying power and less likelihood of an adverse reaction as your body adapts to the pharmological stimuli.

The coating dissolves faster so is absorbed more rapidly.

they give you releif faster and they are gels so they disperce the liquid faster!!
