[quote=Anonymous]My kid with ADHD can't swallow the big capsules, so we break them open and put them on applesauce. I was told by the psychiatrist that it's basically the same as taking the capsule -- the delayed release function is achieved by the little tiny bead coating around the powder, not the gelatin capsule. (Incidentally, I've posted about this before, but the CVS generic XR did NOT have the same bead coating as the Giant generic....and did not work as well. So it's not a bad idea to pop open your capsules and see what's in there.) He sometimes take a pill that is not a capsule -- we break it in half, and I give it to him with water. I tell him to take a mouthful of water, stick the pill in through the lips, and then swallow the water. That's how I take pills. [/quote]
