The ones I take are tablets and can be cut. When I was going through throat radiation, I needed to cut them in half in order to be able to swallow them, as the pills (my 800mg ones) are rather large for even my normal throat to swallow. It was even hard to cut with my pill splitter and crusher if I needed to. But with the capsules you describe, I’ve always understood you shouldn’t try to take any of the contents out of those. I would certainly talk to your doctor about prescribing a different form and dosage if you don’t need it in the capsule form.
