Hi.
Yes. She can take capsules. The only difference is contents of injections are available in the blood of patient immediately and that of oral medicine are available after the process of absorption. Hence little time gap.
Once absorbed, the constituents have the same effects as through parenteral route.
Hope this answer satisfies you.
