Gee, I didn't think of that, but it does sound like a possibility. My doctor did say though when he wrote the prescription that he would prescribe the 100mg, and that I could just cut them in half. I got a large supply by mail order. They aren't scored. But so far, the pieces seem to be working about the same, though it's hard to tell exactly.Adding one more tidbit, if you are able to get the drug in lower strength it would be preferable to splitting the pill. If a pill does not have a score there is the possibility the pieces will not have the same strength.
If a pill was 20mg (with no score) and you cut it in half, there is no guarantee each side will have 10 mg. It is possible that the active portion is not mixed throughout.
