To @Maja: No, the casing is not to make it easier to swallow the drug, and to get the optimal effect. As I wrote below, you should not open the capsule, because then the drug is absorbed immediately in the entire dose, which is inappropriate because it exposes the patient to side effects and shortens the duration of action of the drug.
I take Faxolet er and they do not have powder inside and the tablets :) The casing is there to make it easier to swallow this drug. I am currently taking this medicine without a casing because there is a chance that I have a rash on the skin of the :) everything is ok :)

No, you cannot open the Faxolet ER capsules. The capsules are designed in such a way as to ensure the gradual release of the drug over a long period of time. After opening the capsule and drinking its contents, the entire dose of the drug will be absorbed at one time, which will negatively affect the effect of the drug. In swallowing large tablets or capsules, the tips in this video can be helpful:
