I take it all, with no problem. If necessary the only gel covered meds that I take are my Advil liquid Gel, which are on hand to deal with wicked migrains. Fortunately, I don't have to take it often, but it's the only thing my Surgeon OK'd when in dire straits over a migrain. As to plastic coated pill, as long as they aren't time released, I don't see a problem. The key is to drink pleanty of fluid when taking meds to be sure they are well dissolved.
