That sounds great.  What I was wondering is, do they make smaller doses up in the capsules if you need such, i.e.  0.50mg?  Or even 0.25mg? 

I guess our Endo would say that he would not like to do that as there is just as much room for error where the pharmacist getting the doses wrong is concerned as having the responsibilty to make an accurate pharmacy based suspension.  They seem very strict here with what they will subsidize or script where med's are concerned.  That is why I approached the manufacturers to make the 1mg pill.  Mass produced it would be more readily available for others here and over seas and involve less time to make such for the average pharmacist then.  Apparently it is not the ingredients that cost, it is the time and labour going into making up a suspension, and I would imagine capsules are just as fiddly.  

It sounds really good though and much better than what we currently have available which is 5mg tablets.
