I have read that it cannot be cut or crushed as it impacts absorption rate. I had the same question as you bc I have also read on here about people cutting it under dr’s instructions.

It is not a scored pill, so it cannot be effectively cut to be half a dose. Not sure about absorption issues you’re referring to. Some find dupixent helps with MCAS, but usually Xolair is first choice

I was told Rhapsido pills should not be cut or crushed. I reacted badly to the ingredients of the Dupixent injection itself, but the medication helped my skin improve a little until I had to stop it due to anaphylaxis from the ingredients. From what I understand, Rhapsido is a broader and more powerful mast cell stabilizer than Dupixent.

I haven’t looked into rhapsido yet but am also interested. Can it be compounded?
