Good morning. I take symfaxin er prolonged-release capsules. Can I open them and swallow the contents of the capsule. There are 3 tablets inside. I have trouble swallowing capsules. In the pharmacy the lady said that I can, but I prefer to make sure. Please reply.

According to the manufacturer of Symfaxin ER: "The capsules should be swallowed whole with liquid. They must not be divided, crushed, chewed or dissolved." Therefore, do not pour out and take the contents of the capsules alone. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/76375/symfaxin-er-kapsulki-o-przedluzonym-uwalnianiu/ulotka If you have a problem swallowing capsules, I recommend that you inform your doctor - you may be able to choose another medicine that you will not be able to take.
