I ordered this 2 pack of Colace as this brand has always worked fine for me in the past. This purchase however was a waste of money. The package arrived while i was home, i brought it inside my well air conditioned home %26 put it on my living room side table right away. i didn't open it until later that evening and then opened 1 of the bottles at that time. i couldnt get any of the capsules to come out so i closed it up and shook it a couple of times, heard it rattle, opened bottle and 2 gel capsules came out. They felt wet and slimy. I got another few out %26 they also were slimy %26 coated with a thick liquidy substance. i thought perhaps at first maybe they were supposed to have a coating of some kind but when i put one in mouth the taste hit my tongue. It was disgusting. i realized some or many capsules must have released the liquid inside %26 it was all over the entire contents. I tried to empty the bottle onto my counter %26 see if some could be salvaged. the capsules were so coated with sticky slime that i couldnt get the full bottle emptied. Over half the bottle were just completely stuck together in one clump. Since they are a geletin type coating, you really can't use an object into the bottle to try and break them up. To do so might puncture one of the gel caps which would have been an even bigger mess. Not to mention the most foul taste of the inside liquid is definitely not meant to be tasted. i opened the second bottle of the pair only to find the same issue. only 1 gel cap would come out and it too was coveted in that slime. I believe 1 or more gel caps either melted or broke open in the bottles. that ruined the entire contents. I've used this brand before but have never purchased the gelatin capsules, only the pill form. Needless to say, i will never buy this again, i recommend you dont buy this online at all. i also feel you should think twice before buying these gel capsules at all, even in the store. Now, i have to shell out money again. But, i won't be getting anything but the solid pill form. The brand has always worked well, the delivery method of a gel cap didn't work at all.
