> I've noticed undissolved Calcium. This of course made me wonder the same. I guess the liquid would be best if it's available. Can you just dissolve lets say zoloft in water and swallow it? I know for an acute panic attack, a xanax tablet under the tongue will work more quickly. Fondly, Phillipa

I would lay money that you're talking about calcium carbonate. Also known as chalk. Also known as limestone. Have you ever found a piece of coral on a beach? It's nearly pure calcium carbonate, and it doesn't dissolve away in the waves.

Even in pure acid, calcium carbonate takes time to dissolve. If a medication pill uses calcium carbonate as a binder (fairly common), it stands a good chance of passing intact.
