Can these capsules be opened & put in water or juice?

I asked the company and says they do not suggest opening the capsule as the chitosan could irritate the throat.

Is there rice flour in this?

No. It contains chromium, chitosan, cellulose, stearic acid and silica. Also contains shellfish (shrimp).

Other chitosan supplement labels say to drink water with it. Does these capsules have to be drank with water also since it is shellfish fiber?

I have just gone over the entire label. I see no mention of water at all. I open the capsule for my small dog and mix the powder with pumpkin and/or yogurt. Since the Chitosan acts as a thickener I do add a little water just to make mixing it easier to assure it's a smooth mix while he is dancing around at my feet waiting to lap it up.
