In reply to dividing dosages of capsule?, posted by Bob on June 12, 2002, at 15:14:48
First, ask your pdoc for advice.You'll probably have to open the capsule, divide the dose, and take half with juice or water. (You don't have to swallow the capsule unless you really want the gelatin...) Hold the other half aside for the next dose. Convenient? No, it's a pain in the a**.
You can try to get as even a split as possible by using a razor blade and a mirror. Cut the capsule in half using the blade (one cut, straight through) and separate the halves before lifting the blade. Just be sure to tell your family what you're doing before they assume that you're experimenting with a different drug! ;)
Good luck...
