Will SOLUBLE tablets dissolve if put in fluid

Other than water? I’ve got a really bad headache but struggle to take tablets whole. I’ve brought some soluble ones but would imagine the taste of them is quite strong if I dissolve them in water. Will they still work if I dissolve them in juice or coffee?

Yes but caffeine in coffee may make them work differently as caffine increases your heart rate etc.
You can mix with water and add squash?

Yes ...

Chemically they will dissolve as either of those liquids have plenty of water in them. I’ve no idea about the pharmaceutical properties being affected...I suspect not with over the counter medication but I imagine someone more knowledgeable will be about.

Interested in this thread?

Any soluble tablets taste ok - they must make them palatable enough. I actually like the taste of soluble aspirin for example. Which tablets are they?

Some painkillers have added caffeine, because it can change how the drugs act, so I would probably go for squash or cordial instead.

Soluble co-codamol work well in Sprite and taste pretty good.
