Is it safe to break apart a calcium capsule to dissolve the powder in juice?
The calcium supplements I’m taking are very large and difficult to swallow; one got stuck and I choked. Is it safe to take them apart so I can dissolve the powder in juice?

I have a chewable calcium supplement – pretty sure you can open yours.
Why wouldn’t it be safe? (scratches head)
@susanc Was worried it needed to be released over time, or something.
If it’s just a regular OTC supplement, you should be fine. If you are still concerned, I suggest you call your local pharmacy, and speak directly with the pharmacist.
It’s fine. Calcium supplements are pretty much inert.
@mirifique – I hadn’t thought of that. Didn’t question your judgment, just wondering.
ive never tried it but you should be fine. i think .
Yes, it will be perfectly fine. The only time it is dangerous to do things like this is with time release tablets or capsules.
