Official Answer
by Drugs.comIt is best not to open the capsule and sprinkle on food in case you don't finish the food ,and that would mean that you miss a bit of the dose.
If you can't swallow the capsule you can open it up and mix with a small spoonful of something, and swallow the entire contents.
