The weight of a pill matters more than you think

I was refilling a prescription today and noticed how the same pill—same dose, same drug—felt heavier in one bottle than another. Not by much, but enough to make me pause. It’s not just the placebo effect; it’s the way the body remembers what a thing weighs. I’ve seen patients cry over a change in tablet texture. No one talks about that. The design is supposed to be invisible, but sometimes it isn’t—it’s felt.
