A member asked:
I bought benadryl (diphenhydramine) capsules instead of pills. is there a way to take half a capsule safely? i only need half. they are 25mg

Open capsule: Since you likely do not require an absolutely precise dosing, just open the capsule and pour the content into a couple of tsp of honey or juice . After thorough mixing, take a tsp of the mixture to get the 12.5 mg you desired.
