Are the tablets scored for breaking in half? Thanks!

Not really but if you want a small pill for a small dog, try the Cosequin 100 Tasty chewable tablets standard strength plus. They are shaped like little dog bones, and my small dogs like taking them!

Yes, the tablets are scored. I checked and there is a line down the middle. It breaks in half fairly easily. A little pressure and it snaps in half.

I dont recommend cutting it in half since it is time release formula so it is probably coated so that it is released slowly into your system. Most medications that can be cut in half are "scored" which means the manufacturer puts a line in the middle where it can be cut. You can look into purchasing smaller doses instead.

The tablets are 3/4 inch long (3 cms) and relatively thick. They are not supple. Daily dosage is two tablets which can be taken together. Manufacturer's instructions for use do not prohibit cutting in half or pulverizing, so that could serve as a solution to your problem.

No, the 20-mg tablets are not scored. In the past, we have successfully used a simple pill cutter. I have not tried it with this pill (because I have no need to do so) but it might be worth a try. If it is a problem, you might see if they have one in a mg-dose that fits your need without breaking or cutting them. The product works beautifully for me, and I highly recommend it for effectiveness and savings.

I found them a little strong so I break them in half and they help me. I will buy them again.

So far, I haven't found a pill I couldn't split. I am extremely happy with this purchase as I take 28 pills a day (!) and two of them that are quite small have to be split. The rest are larger but I take them whole. 1/8 of an inch should be no problem at all.

These tablets are a very easy size to swallow. If needed they can be broken in half to make swallowing easier. They are not a capsule but a tablet. Get them, they're great!

It depends on the quality of the binder used in the pill, but it's usually more reliable to cut a pill perpendicular to the scoring. If you don't get the scoring exactly where the blade will enter, it will often chip along the score line. If you cut at an approximate right angle to the scoring, the pill is split cleanly and you've saved a few seconds of trying to align it.

I don't think the tablets go bad. It's like Polident. When I bought these the last time I opted for a year's worth. Each one is individually sealed in a foil packet.

This is Tablet Form, therefore you will not having any problems cutting in half. Hope this helps-good luck and good breathing!!!

Some time release pills can be safely cut in half, some can't. My test is to put a full tablet and a split tablet in a glass of water and observe how they dissolve. (It might be better to put them in a glass of vinegar.) Not 100% conclusive but if you see the half-pill dissolving much faster than the full pill you better skip the split.

You could cut these in half, if desired. They are a chalky-type tablet (as opposed to a gel) and could easily be snapped in half with your fingers.

That's why I bought it, but although it halves small pills fine, when you try to split the halves, some of it crumbles. If you're trying to cut a big tablet, you shouldn't have any trouble.

I just checked. No they are not scored. I agree with the other assessments. They can be broken or cut easily

I really don't know. Never used tablets. But the seeds don't taste bad, are easy to chew and you can regulate the amount you take by counting the seeds. Can't say one way or the other if they are effective.

Good Morning, The Source Naturals Huperzine is available only in the 200mcg dosage. It is indeed a tablet, although we are not able to confirm that the tablets can be cut in half due to the fact that the bottles arrive to with an outer plastic safety seal. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

I'm not sure if a pill cutter would work to split exactly but the tablets are not scored to break in half.
