loshaff You can open the capsule up and drink the content. The capsule is just to help you get it down, and it contains no drug in it. You can simply throw those away and just drink the powder. I had a friend of mine that always opened up the capsules and drank the content since she could not swallow pills. My aunt used to do it too for her drugs (not this one) SHe was directed by the doctor to drink the powder for faster effect instead of waiting until the capsule dissolves in your stomach and the powder comes out and kicks in. Capsules simply dissolve in your stomach without any effect in your body. It should split up in two, and yes you can open it, just be gentle and don't pop it open since you will spill it everywhere. Put a piece of paper underneath and you will be fine!! Hope this helps
