A member asked:
Ran out of duloxetine, have some samples of higher dose. can i open these capsules up and pour out some?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well.....: Technically (on label) no. The problem would be is getting half the dose (30 mg for 60 mg?). You can mix it is applesauce, but again getting half is difficult. If you are willing to accept that your dose is going to be not perfect, it is unlikely to harm you.
