The dosing instructions say that you can break the capsule. Focalin is fairly tasteless from my experience. I think that bigger issue is breaking it if it's the extended release form, because there is no way to know how much is released at one time or something. But I remember inquiring about it and it was fine with Focalin because it's beads or something inside as opposed to a power. Something like that. Either way, you should talk to your doctor.
