yes and it makes me wonder
i just thought that they wouldnt make a capsule almost double the size of the amount of medicine that is going to be put in it. and i always just assumed that a capsule should be packed tightly with the medication. my capsules are only half full. this is the first time that i have been prescribed this medication and i never saw it before and never had a capsule before ive always had pills. i just moved to a different state and i am just skeptical that the capsules that my new doctor prescribed me are only half full of medicine. i just think that it is possible that someone at my new drug store has a problem. HEY you never know these days. it just seemed odd to me that the entire capsule wasnt full of medication. i didnt want to go to the pharmacist because i felt like i might be making and idiot out of myself or imply that the capsules were short of medicine. but honestly the foot of mine that was crushed like a pancake seems to hurt more then usual but i am taking morphine now instead of oxycodone. i just thought that i would try to find out if the kadian capsules are supposed to be packed tight or only half full. obviosly you cant help me so why did you even reply?

Kadian 20 mg Capsules
I have no personal experience.
But the same question came up years ago.
Please refer to this post for more information about the exact same topic:
http://www.pharmer.org/forum/pill-identification/kadian-20mg-capsules
And, now that you have an answer of sorts, please refrain from posting negative comments in other threads.
Thanks!

about the same , or the same as Kadian morphine sulfate, the beads where about 3/4 the way up in the long portion.
We got into this discussion about 6 months ago, discussing, hand filling capsules verus automatic pharmicetuical machinery.

re:
my experience checking out the beads of kadian capsules taught me that they dont have very many beads per capsule..I took them for a year.
Did you get them from a pharmacy? If so, why does it matter?
