1. Can Dexedrine capsules be opened?
No, Dexedrine should not be open, crushed or chewed. The recommended dose of Dexedrine should be swallowed whole with water according to the instructions given by your doctor. Opening the capsule or crushing them can release all the drugs at once and increase the risk of developing side effects.Â
2. What time should I take Dexedrine?
Dexedrine tablets are taken 1 to 3 times a day regularly. Take the first tablet in the morning after waking up. If more than 1 dose is prescribed, take them 4 to 6 hours apart or according to the instructions given by your doctor. Do not take Dexedrine in the evening or at night because it can cause difficulty in falling asleep.
