Empty capsules to delay pred absorption?

[Marjorie237]

I would like to change the time when I take pred to perhaps early morning so I can benefit from the relief of early morning probs. As I have been refused coated pred I would like to try the empty capsules to put the pred in.. There was a mention of where to buy these at a reasonable cost but cannot remember where on this site I saw it. Can anyone please point me in the right direction.

Being a newbie, is there a list of abbreviations I can keep for reference and learning. Guess most of them but still don’t get them all. 🥴 I don’t want to begin using them myself just yet as I will probably take the meanings wrong!

Thanks all.

Can’t help on the empty capsules. Probably best if you ask about specific abbreviations.

This is some info from earlier in the week:-

If you read a post with a lot of abbreviations in, please just ask, people forget that not everyone is familiar with the terms.

Kind Regards

That was a post I started. As you can see I found a product, but another forum member got same thing for less $....info copied below:

I bought size 0 on Amazon, this size fits my 5mg and 1mg, nicely. The capsules were $20.00 US.

"PurecapsUSA Empty Vegan Acid-Resistant (Enteric) Capsules – Size “0” – 1000 Fillable Caps – Kosher/Halal – Hypoallergenic – Vegan - GMO Free"

Makes a huge difference for me not to have to get up at 2am anymore, but wake up pain free.

Thanks to Canada. How long do they stay un dissolvable though?

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Marjorie237]

It isn't so much they are undissolvable but more they require different conditions. They don't break down in the stomach but pass through to be absorbed further down the gut and that delays the delivery. Everyone will be a bit different with them though as the gastric motility has a role to play.

You can buy gastric resistant/enteric coated capsules online but they can have mixed reviews. Ask at a pharmacy to see if they can get you a sample version?
