thank you, jost, very much. that's the kind of thing that i think would really help - how much drug do others have in their capsules? - and i will also call the pharmacy if i need to.
my casules open *fairly* easily, but i think i say that b.c. back in my youth i used to split capsules filled with various things for recreational purposes -- so i have experience. that was a long time ago! but no, i can't say it comes off easily. you kind of have to twist and pull at the same time, and be sure you're holding it so the shorter end is at the top. what i think i remember from when i opened it once before is that the bottom half of the capsule is very close to full. (you're right that the two halves together are not full - i think the bottom half is a measuring cup of sorts which is why higher doses have wider capsules. this is good news if you do open the capusle - otherwise it would spill all over the place.) if you're so inclined, try again by twisting and pulling up at the same time (gently), sometimes it takes a little while.
thank you!
