BUNNELL, Fla. – Take the stress out of swallowing pills. A revolutionary pill coating is changing the way people take medications. It’s called Medcoat, and it’s the latest addition to Beutlich Pharmaceuticals’ family of products.

Medcoat is an innovative coating that helps pills slide down the throat smoothly and covers up any bad taste. The special coating applicator is easy to use and works on any size or shaped pill or capsule. It’s perfect for alleviating sharp edges of pills that must be halved or quartered and it eliminates the need to crush tablets or add flavorings, which can alter the effectiveness of the medicines.

“We all know someone who struggles with swallowing the pills their doctors prescribe, or just taking their morning vitamins … and then there are the children who cry because they can’t stand the taste, and people who have medical conditions where swallowing is nearly impossible. These are real problems people face,” said Erlene Thomas, CEO Medcoat USA. “We wanted to find a way to alleviate those issues and Medcoat is doing just that, by helping people take pills with ease and in the right dosage.”

Medcoat Benefits:

• Covers pills and capsules with a coating making them easy to swallow
• The coating masks the bad taste of pills and gives them a refreshing taste
• Perfect for swallowing large, uncoated pills
• Contains only food ingredients, not known to interact with drugs, and is sugar, soy and gluten free
• Helps patients take the correct dose of their prescribed medications by alleviating the need to crush or cut pills
• Encourages patients to complete their prescribed and non-prescribed pill regimes
• Allows doctors to prescribe the pill version of medications rather than the liquid form, which is often bad tasting and improperly dosed
