Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 you can open the capsule and put the contents in jelly, pudding or even ice cream. Don't try to swallow the pellets in just water. cookt I have trouble swallowing. I'm concerned about purchasing pelleted Minocin because I will not be able to swallow a capsule. Can I break it open & swallow the contents? Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 --- >Hi Dolores , it's Patsy .. I've been reading all the advise you have been giving others to help them out with, SD .. I pray you all take her advise , if it wasn't for Dolores and Lynne , walking me though this horrible disease and introducing me to Minocin I'd probally be in a stand still or dead by now .. Like Dolores , I have my life back ! thanks to the Minocin and Dolores for being there for me and showing me the way ! Thank You Dodo , I'll always be grateful to you , Dolores is right , don't lay down for a few hours , because the Minocin can/ will burn your esophagus .. Have you talk to your doctor about ballooning your esophagus ?? No ! you wont fill a thing , they put you to sleep .. " oh , I'm a friend of Dolores , I've known her for a very long time .

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hey Patsy, I love you too. At first I didn't think we were ever going to get through the brain fog. But we made it! Sometimes I think the fog comes back. I don't multi-task as well as I used to. So, I just laugh off my goofiness, Take care kid. The one who started us all on the A/P is Lynne. She deserves all the credit. She is one in a million!----What a gal! Love you Lynne and all my S/D Lady E-Friends.~~~Love you all, Dolores & Mike > > > you can open the capsule and put the contents in jelly, pudding or > >even ice cream.
