Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hi all, i just bought some DMSA capsules. My daughter can't swallow capsules and was wondering if I could put it in a syringe mixed with water just before swallowing. concerned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Yes this is fine, it's just premixing a bunch of doses for later that is not fine. > > Hi all, > > i just bought some DMSA capsules.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Jan, What do you mean by " a bunch " ? We mix 10 doses into orange juice. Do I need to create a dose every 3 hours? Thank you.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 According to Moria's site, DMSA should be mixed with something acidic to prevent oxidation (pineapple juice, lemon juice). It should be used up in less than a day, preferably half a day. For more on how to give doses, see Moria's page. When I tried mixing DMSA in lemon juice, it didn't dissolve and I could tell by symptoms that I was not getting even doses. My symptoms improved a lot when I stopped mixing in liquid and simply split the powder into empty capsules. -- > > > > Hi all, > > > > i just bought some DMSA capsules.
