Can I Take A Pill Cut In Half?



Recommended Posts

It depends on the pill. Ask your pharmacist which can be broken in half.

You haven’t put any details but I would ask your doc or nurse if you can or not.

I am just starting my 11th week out and the only pill I am allowed to take is my folic acid pill that is this big o its a tiny fat pill and even then she told me if I feel pain twinges to stop taking them.

You need to get a crusher for pills your meant to take that they can’t give you in effervescent/dissolve on tongue/liquid form

Thanks it is a time release.

If its a time release, it will lose its intended effect. If you need to cut a pill in half, ask your doctor to switch you to a non-time release version of the pill.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
