R Shlomo Miller (Toronto) told me that although some poskim allow pills on
YK (and he doesn't protest one who relies on those poskim), 
he personally doesn't doesn't agree because rov of the pill is actually
starch filler - which is a normal ma'achal

Besides, many such pills have a sugar coating on the outside
(try licking one and you'll see if it's so)

Also, glycerin tablet are also a ma'achal
(place in water, and the glycerin dissolves quickly and is sweet - ie
ma'achal)
