will removing half a pellet from doxypal capsule affect its delayed release mechanism
hello the delayed release capsule contains the active drug doxycycline and few other excipients that slowly release the active drug from it so the active drug is mixed with the excipients and put into the capsule so if you divide the capsule into equal half it still works still it is delayed release and you can make 50 my dosage you also see that whether the infection in acne is controlled with 50 my dose if so you can follow it if not controlled then 100 my must be taken the benefit and side effects should be weighed to choose the balanced dosage
hello doctor I have a question with respect to doxypal do medicine and my question is whether the delayed release remains active when I would open a capsule to remove half of the pellets the capsules are 100 my and I would like to take 50 my but I need the delayed release to remain working because otherwise I get too many side effects with nausea the side effects are also the reason I would like to take 50 my two times a day instead of 100 my once a day I investigate and found that the delayed release mechanism can be in the capsule and if this is the case I cannot open it to remove half of the pellets because it will loose the delayed release mechanism but I read on the internet that the delayed release mechanism can also be in the pellets inside of the capsule if this is the case I could open it and remove half of the pellets and the delayed release mechanism would still be working I want to know is the delayed release mechanism of doxypal 100mg re contained in the pellets or is it due to the capsules
