Empty capsules for steroids to cause barrier in stomach.

[Rotsky]

Sorry to ask this as I cannot find the post that had this info. I think Dorset Lady gave a link to a capsule to put steroids in to take to prevent damage to stomach and delay release of steroids?

Have searched the web and FAQ’s but cannot find such ‘empty’ capsules.

Will be very grateful for a reminder. Apologies for asking you to repeat this information.

There have been other posts relatively recently so someone may comment.

Checked the Capsuline in Canada. Prices well out of my league. Thank you all, you are always there for us.

Amazon do them. 100 for just under six pounds. I believe you can even get a machine to fill the capsule for you!

You probably already know this but prednisolone gastric protected pills are available, 5.2.5 and 1 mg. On prescription. I have severe GERD and they have made a big difference.
