It depends on the medication but typically the powder is in a capsule for a reason (to protect the medicine until it gets to the part of the GI tract where it is to be dissolved). So, it is usually best to give the medication in the form that it comes in. If you want to post again and tell us what medication you are referring to we may be able to help you better.
