Can these pills be cut? 1mg is too high of a dose for me.

Any form of time release medication should not be cut. It defeats the time release purpose. Consider buying a 500 or 750 microgram dose. Which would be .5 and .75 mg resepectively.

I bought the TIME RELEASED version. I'm no pharmacist, but I would never cut a time released pill in half. There are lower dose versions of melatonin available (sold in micrograms instead of milligrams).

There's a guy on the web, small-time, who makes a splitter designed specifically for 100mg Viagra. It works perfectly, with almost no splintering of the pill. It doesn't have a blade - uses little indentations - I can't of course advertise here but see if you can find him by Googling "Viagra pill splitter".

That's an interesting question! For your dog? :-) Yes, they are pills and can be easily cut.

I've been taking these for years. It's not easy, but I have a hard time with child-proof caps also. You can open these without a knife. The packet can be torn in half on the serrated edge splitting the packet in half with 5 pills each. Then tear off at the serrated edge the larger pill section on one end. After that, the top corner of paper can be lifted off. Once the paper is off, the pills can be easily popped through the thin foil.

The calcium pills are at least that large and maybe just a little bit bigger. They do look like you could cut them in half if you needed to, but the way they are now, they are quite large. Hope this helps.

They can be cut, they are not capsules. If you crush these they would turn into powder, I believe.

I'm not the best judge as I don't have problems with "horse pills" as they are called by some. I'd take a pic next to a coin as reference for you, but I've just run out and need to re-order. I'd classify them as "medium-sized". They are tablets, not capsules, and could thus be split with a pill-cutter, I'd think. They seem to have a sweet or vanilla-esque fragrance, so cutting them might expose you to something more noxious than that, but I think I've taken an unintentionally-broken pill half from the compact of them I carry with me in my bag a couple of times with no noticeable negative result.

I cut mine in half and take 60 a day- I would work with an herbologist or naturopath to find your right dosage. Each brand seems to work differently. I like this one cause it helps and the price.

The chewable tablets are scored down the middle so you can snap them in half. I would use 1 and 1/2 tab. At first, my dog wouldn't eat them, but now he loves them - like a treat. If you have the non-chewable pills, get a pill splitter. If this dosage doesn't seem to be enough, then up it to 2. . Hope this helps!

I ordered this product last year and unless they changed the coating, it's just like a normal complex vitamin regarding whether it can be cut in half. I bought them for my husband, then I began using them because of the B vitamins for energy. I snapped them in half with my finger against the counter top. I'm sure you could use a knife to score & then cut them in half, pretty easily, so the answer is Yes you CAN cut them in half and they are the size of a regular elongated/sphere shaped multi-vitamin...when I bought them. Now I purchase a Super B Complex vitamin with an added Ginko Biloba supplement & I feel clean & more functionally efficient. Hope this helps you...

Yes. This is the best pill splitter I have found. I've cut numerous sizes without difficulty. Good luck.

They are not made to be broken in half. if you have a pill cutter they could be. My question to you is why would you want to take just half.You can not get too much B-12. I started with the 1,000 mcg and now take the 5,000mcg each day.

It seemed to help but I discontinued taking them because the pills are so huge. I even cut them in half but the edges were too sharp. I now take a back & joint supplement recommended by an acupuncturist and purchased at Amazon called JOU herbal supplement. This seems to help me immensely.

Thanks so much; I really appreciate that! I hate it when I buy pills that end up being gargantuan and they're unpleasant to take.

do not worry that the pills go down well and does not cause any harm. Drink plenty of water and take them one at a time. thx! :)

not very large...size of a typical aspirin...I don't see the need to cut them unless you want to decrease the doseage in which case it may be simpler to order a smaller dose.

They are what I would consider a large pill. They're about the size of the piece of metal that holds the eraser on a pencil; so about an inch long and about a quarter inch in diameter. But I don't see why you couldn't cut it in half, or something, as long as you end up taking it all.
