Hi,
the question more important is this: the caps you are dividing are gastro-resistant or not?
If they are, do not open them, cause this will made the total immediate absorption of drug in your stomach and not during guts-transit.
Considering XR or SR label is a wrong method, cause (for example) EFFEXOR XR has a prolonged relay, but it is NOT for the kind of the caps, but cause caps contains micro-sferoydes that, in any case, have XR proprietyes.
So You can drink a glass with m-sfer. from an open caps and it will be just like you have taken them from an enclosed caps.
Watch the propriety, it is written on the box (i.e. gastro-resistant).
Hope it helps you, bye.
