Are pill capsules mostly the same?

Question

I am trying to split a dosage of a XR pill I take in capsule form and I'm wondering if I can put the extra half into an empty XR capsule I have from a previous medication I used to take. Does this work?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Yes, but you need to be careful. You can lose a lot of the medicine in the process thus defeating your purpose. Is it possible to get a scrip from your doctor of the medication in half the dosage you currently have? That would be easier and safer.
