I'd like to try and split up the dosage of my meds into smaller doses. Does anybody know where to get empty pill capsules that you can fill up and reclose again? thanks

Hi. I think I've seen them at health food stores -- places like Wild Oats or Whole Foods. I would imagine that a special compounding pharmacy would also have them, or they'd be much more likely to have them than a chain like CVS.

hmm. i didn't know you could buy empty ones. when we needed them (to put mj oil in) we would buy the cheapest panadol or vitamin capsuals that were available and just ditch the contents.

Yes, I've bought them at Whole Foods. If you don't have that there, I would try an independent vitamin/supplement store in your area.

aye.... I have had difficulty trying to stuff kava root into the large size capsules... you may need a clever tool to help with the insertion into the capsules of whatever materials you are planning on using.
Anyway, those empty caps are everywhere. You must seek them out and hopefully your dreams will come true.
