Splitting an AI (anstrazole capsule)

[ipi]

Orrin, thanks and I am almost there. .

Can't have vodka, any non-alcoholic suggestions?

Hmmmmmmm. No alcohol... I have no idea if water will work. You could try it with one cap and see. Alcohol works as a solvent to dissolve the medication and filler. If water does not work then you may have to go back to Dr S and talk options over with him and see what he recommends. This is why I go the route I do. You first need to see how much AI you needed to keep your E2 stable and in the sweet spot. That's where Dr S comes in. Then you can see about getting a customized script to meet that requirement.

thanks I ll try to go the scored tablets way. Start low. Will talk to him in a week or so.

My discussion with Dr Saya is he'll have whatever compounded you want in a capsule. I use .15mg but still like to skim off the top and try for .10mg.

I've measured it out on a scale, just crude mad scientist style and dropped it in water and drank it. I think it works just fine. That was powder from a capsule. I'm not sure a tablet you could do it this way, much tougher to split it up but you won't know until you try. Crush up a 1mg tablet and dissolve it in 1mL of water and see how it goes.

I have 0.50 mg each capsule with powder. I ll drop two (1 mg) in 1 ml then take .10 ml, I hope I can a dropper that goes .10 ml to 1. If I am getting right 0.10 ml will mean 0.10 mg right?

Don't use a dropper. Go to Wal-Mart or a local pharmacy and ask for a 1ML CHILDS ORAL SYRINGE. They should give you one FREE or at best a dollar or so. It will be marked and graduated and you will NOT be guessing on the amount dispensed.
