Hello,
Unfortunately these two medications are only available in capsule form.
Was there any particular reason why you wanted them in another form?
Hopefully this answers your question,

Hello Sandrine🙂 ,
Thank you for the answer and actually I was asking because I tried to swallow a capsule of Sertraline earlier and I had trouble. I have always had trouble swallowing medications and usually I work with a pill cutter. I'm going to try again this week, but if I can't I won't know what to do🙁

Hello,
The Sertraline capsule can be opened and its contents sprinkled on a spoonful of compote or yogurt. You can try this trick to take your medication. I would advise you to close the capsule afterwards and try to swallow it empty. After a few days, you will usually get used to it and you will be able to swallow it afterwards.
As for Strattera, the capsule cannot be opened because its contents can be irritating. You must swallow the entire capsule. If you have too much difficulty swallowing it, your doctor may have to change your medication.
I hope this answers your question,
