Combining nitrazepam capsule strengths

Combining whole nitrazepam capsules — including pharmacy-compounded strengths — builds a dose without cutting. The calculator above finds a combination that reaches your target.

What you'll need

  • The capsule strengths your pharmacy can dispense or compound

Method

  1. Check which strengths are available and enter them above.
  2. Use the calculator to find a combination of whole capsules that reaches your target.
  3. Take the combination together as a single daily dose.
  4. Re-check the combination with your prescriber at each reduction step.

Tips

  • Ask your pharmacy whether they can compound the smaller strengths you’ll need toward the end of a taper.

When not to use this method

  • Cutting or opening capsules to split a dose — combine whole strengths, weigh, or count beads instead.
