Capsules are Huge! can I open them instead?

I bought this joint support. But this bad boy is about the size of an Omega pill. It’s too big. Can I open the capsule and sprinkle the stuff onto my food or into some juice instead of swallowing this pill?

The Product Is called Super Cussis RX, in case you had to know. I can either buy it in pill form. Or I can buy it in a bulk powder for much cheaper, But i didn’t know if i had to put it in capsules to take it.

But this goes for any “Capsule”, not just ScRx.

Thanks guys.

Sure, you can mix it in a drink. Almost all compressed powder pills that are designed for oral ingestion can be taken this way. But, you may vomit if you have a soft stomach from the taste of a crushed pill in a drink.

Ha ha now I wouldn’t want to do that. Thank you Thatcat. Is there any exceptions? I noticed you said, Almost all compressed powder pills. Not all.

Whats to look out for?

Film tablets (the ones that have a shine on the outer coat) are generally considered bad for crumbling and mixing with drink to be taken. Capsules that are gel inside, so on. I’m not a pharmacist so I wouldn’t know exactly why, or even specifically which ones are not designed for mix with drink ingestion, but as a general rule of thumb, the ones I just mentioned I do not crush and mix.

Ok thank you.

Anything that is a capsule filled with powder can be turned into a “tea”. In some parts of the world that is a pretty common way of ingesting things of a medicinal nature.

Mostly, things in capsules taste like shite. So you don’t want to add it to your food.

Take it as a suppository. :)

I’m not familiar with the capsule and couldn’t find it after doing a quick google search “super cussis rx” but as long as the capsule doesn’t say anything like “delayed release” or “extended release” you’ll be fine. Most drugs put into capsules that are regular release are done so because the drug tastes bad or it is to make taking it more convenient. It sounds like the latter in this case because you said they also make a powder. I would imagine mixing the contents of the capsule would be similar to the directions for the powder. The only other thing the powder might have is sugar and flavorings help the taste but if you mix it with applesauce or juice (both of which are slightly acidic and sweet which helps mask bad tastes) you should be fine.

Hey hwarang, I’m sorry about that. I got “u” mixed up with the “i” in Cussis. The correct name is “Super Cissus Rx”.

Ha ha and Tossed salad would mention suppositories :D

Thanks guys.
