Colleen Young,
I'm not suggesting a man like me (80) start start counting beads. I would go to a skilled compounder!

I agree, @kelvinthomas.
Counting beads is not universally recommended as outlined here by a Mayo Clinic pharmacist.

The concern is that if the beads are not standardized the dosing by bead counting would be variable. The manufacturer offers no indication that there is any particular amount of drug per bead, and release from the beads themselves could vary from the drug delivery from the bead and capsule since they are not designed to be taken that way.

You're wise to use a compounding pharmacy with a skilled compounder.
