I’ve been taking it for years now. The pharmacist never mentioned I should not touch the capsules and neither did my hematologist. But, luckily I can read! Before taking the first dose I read the precautions and knew I shouldn’t touch! So, I “poured” two capsules, my dose, into the cap and toss them into my mouth followed immediately by water. I can’t be bothered by putting on gloves. I call them my “poison pills”!
No mouth sores.
