In reply to Can you break open neurontin capsules? CAM?, posted by Jill K. on March 5, 2002, at 2:27:40
Don't know about that, but when I was starting
Neurontin I would split the cap, dump 1/2 into the
sink and put the lid back on. Did this for each dose.
I guess I could save money on bills if I looked
into the salvation idea.I would be interested in the results of this
question. I don't believe the stomach acid
deactivates it. The medicine doesn't get metabolized
extensively through the liver like most meds, it kinda
shoots straight through the kidney. That's why it last so short
in the body. Bummer.regards,
