Instruct the patient to:

Sprinkle the contents of the capsule onto a tablespoon of applesauce and consume immediately without chewing.
Rinse the mouth to ensure all of the contents have been swallowed.
Discard any unused portion of the AMRIX capsules after the contents have been sprinkled on applesauce.
