Can Size 000 DRcaps® Fit Hiprex? A Long-Term Customer Experience

Why This Customer Chose Size 000 DRcaps®

A customer who had purchased clear DRcaps® for several years shared their experience of using size 000 with Hiprex and long-term medication.

“I have been using the clear DR capsules from Pure Capsules for three years. Like many others leaving reviews, I have a chronic UTI and I’m on Hiprex and long-term antibiotics. I use a size 000 capsule, which is large enough for the products I use. The service from Bob and his team is first class, with quick replies and fast dispatch.”

This is an individual customer experience and is not medical advice. Do not re-encapsulate, crush, divide or otherwise change a medicine unless a pharmacist or doctor confirms that it is appropriate.

Why Size 000?

Size 000 is the largest commonly used human hard-capsule size in our range. Customers sometimes choose it when they need to place a smaller tablet or capsule inside an outer shell. Whether a particular tablet fits depends on its actual dimensions.

DRcaps® Are Delayed Release, Not Conventional Enteric Coating

DRcaps® are plant-based HPMC shells designed to delayed-release compared with standard immediate-release hard capsules. They should not be treated as identical to a pharmaceutical enteric-coated medicine.

Check the Dimensions Before Ordering Size 000

Size 000 is much larger than sizes 00, 0, 1, 2 or 3. If you are unsure which shell is physically suitable, compare capsule length, diameter and approximate capacity in our capsule size guide before ordering.

I've been using DR caps from pure capsules for a few years

I have been using the clear DR capsules from pure capsules for three years now. Like many others leaving reviews, I have a chronic UTI and I'm on hiprex and long term antibiotics. In order to protect my stomach I encapsulate all of these drugs in a 000 capsule which fits hiprex and coamoxiclav. The service that Bob and his team gives is first class. Quick to answer emails and the capsules are sent out very quickly.

Excellent Delayed Release Capsules Would highly recommend this Company and…

Would highly recommend this Company and their delayed release capsules if you're on long term medication that affects your stomach. My symptoms are much improved and the staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful when processing orders. A truly professional service. Thank you.

This company is amazing

This company is amazing. They have acid resistant capsules, which I can put my medication in, and have literally been a life-saver. They are reasonably priced, available to purchase as a individual customer (instead of just being for businesses), and the capsules always arrive in good time. I have never had any issues with this company and highly recommend them.

God Send for cUTI long term medication

These have been a god send. My long term medication for CUTI (hiprex and antibiotics) are very difficult to take as harsh on the tummy causing nausea, burning, reflux etc. If i encapsulate them in the enteric coated capsules they don't release until they hit the small intestine so all them nasty side effected no longer happen. Without these i wouldn't be able to stay on my medication and be extremely unwell so I am very grateful these are available!
