A member asked:

Can lyrica (pregabalin) 50mg capsule be opened and mixed with pudding? this is weird but have a hard time taking capsules.

You Shouldnt: THe short answer is that you should not open up the Lyrica (pregabalin) capsule, however because it is not a time release medication, if you really have trouble swallowing, you can open it and mix with pudding
