Can the Cefdinir capsules be broken and take the inside of the capsule by itself?

My daughter can not take pills and she broke the capsule in half taking the powder in the center only, I’m worried that this may not be good for her.

It is not a time release capsule, so it is OK to take it apart. She should have mentioned this to the pharmacist before the prescription was filled. It is also available as an oral suspension.

If she can’t take the capsules talk to a pharmacist. They can tell you if it is safe or not to break a capsule. Some can if they contain regular powder. Others cannot because they are time released.
Make a quick call to any 24 hr pharmacy and you’ll know for sure.
