According to the manufacturer's information: "do not open the capsules, swallow them whole".
The capsule is designed to reach the stomach and then to the intestines and release the substances that are to be absorbed there. By opening the capsules and swallowing only their contents, we lead to a situation where some of the active substance settles in the throat and esophagus for some time. It is also exposed to hydrochloric acid from the stomach and digestive enzymes for longer. It follows that such a procedure may affect the absorption and effective action of the preparation.
I am attaching materials that may be of interest and information about the possibility of using teleconsultations:
