Can a 10mg Cyclobenzaprine be cut in half? ## Yes, it can be cut in half, since it isn't a time released tablet. This is true of most medications, unless your doctor or pharmacist specifically instructs you otherwise. There are some, such as potent potassium supplements, that can cause damage to the stomach and esophagus, if they are cut in half. Are there any other questions or comments? ## Can 10 mg flexeril be broken in half if it does not have a score line ## Hi Dana, yes , u can cut them in half. I use 2 take 10 mg of Flexeril and I cut them in half. I take medication now that's not scored and I cut it in half. I use a pill cutter, it's much easier.

When you break a norco in half is it difficult? And is it possibly fake if it ends up breaking too easily? ## Hello, Warren! How are you? I've always known them to break easily and never had to use a pill cutter, but I suppose it can vary from manufacturer to manufacture. Can anyone else chime in? The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## I just broke a norco in half and it was kind of easy. Is it fake? ## My bf has 176 pills and they break easily in half. they look real but after he took 2 in the morning and 1 more in the afternoon he said he felt nothing like a m367 pill or Watson? Is it possibly fake or what? ## If the man...

I have 10 mg Vesicare pills and I only need to take 5 mg. I would like to cut them in half. They are not scored. I know that I can break them with my nails. Do pharmacies sell pill cutters. Thank you. ## As long as a medication is not time released and your doctor/pharmacist has not instructed you otherwise, then it is safe to divide pills. You should double check the tablets you have, just to be certain, with a pharmacist. Have you tried contacting them? As to pill cutters, yes they do sell them, there are many different ones available, price depends on the type you want.

small round blue pill with an R on one side and a line on the other side with the numbers 031 ## To answer your question, yes, this pill can be split in half since there is a score line on the pill. I have also seen 0.5 mg doses of this drug, so it would only make sense to me that this can be done. For more information about this drug, please refer to the link below... If you have any other questions or concerns, please post back and I will be happy to help you. ## Totally agree with David's reply. ANY tablet can be cut if it is scored. The score is an real indication of permission. Pill cutters brought from pharmacys can come in handy and give you a better chance of breaking it evenly if cutting on a regular bases. ## I have,alprozolam 2.0 can I cut it in half if I don't want t...

Trying to get off oxy OP 20's. I've been taking about 2 a day for the last 6 mos. If I cut 1 in 4s with a pill cutter. at what rate and what amount (mgs) would 1 piece of that pill deliver? Thanks to any1 who can help! ## They are time released, so cutting the tablets is actually not safe, because it could result in your getting too much of the mediation, at once. If you want o lower your dosage, you should consult your doctor about doing so, they can prescribe lower dosage tablets, or ones that are in a different formulation that would be safe for you to cut up, as needed. Are there any other questions or comments?

Recently filled a script for oxycodone 30mg. It has a m on one side and 30 on the other.The coating is so hard you can hardly break it in half. Looked up the pill and it appears to be a brighter blue that is thinner in the middle. It does not seem to be as effective in strength as either the A215 or a K9. Is there something wrong with these pills? ## Hello, Cat! How are you? These tablets are manufactured by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals. There is nothing that states they must look the same as those made by the other manufactures, so it is normal for generics to look different. Rather than breaking them, you should get yourself a pill cutter, it cuts them much easier and is more accurate. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit form...

round blue ## My Dr. gave me morphine cr for Fibromyalgia. What will it feel like? I'm nervous about taking it. ## If you have taken other narcotics, then you will feel the same effects, though Morphine is very strong. In case you haven't, you can expect to feel drowsy, possible nausea, dry mouth and experience constipation. ## my dr, gave me morphine cr 15 mg. but this is too strong for me. can i use a pill cutter? ## Good and out of pain ## My rheumatologist gave duloxetine for fibromyalgia. I've had 1 flare in more than a year, so it's worked well without all the possible side effects of morphine. Just a thought for you unless you've already tried it. Good luck to you. ## Don't cut CR tablets. They have a coating on them to prevent the full dose from you g int...

I just got the above prescription and it is not scored like my other bottle. Sometimes I take only half the pill and now I don't know what to do. Can I cit them in half? Unfortunately, it's 90 day supply and its gonna be hard to cut without crushing. ## Yes, they are still regular release tablets, so you can cut them in half. What I would suggest doing is picking up a pill cutter/splitter from your local pharmacy, there are some that are specifically made to use with these types of pills that have no score line to help make sure you can cut them in half more accurately and easily. I've had to do it and picked one up from my pharmacy for less than $3 and it has a section that's shaped like a V that sits below the blade, so it can securely hold pills of various sizes. It c...

Can you break the methadone 10mg into half?? ## Dear Samantha, yes, u can break them in half. It might b easier 2 get a pill cutter. They work great. U can get them at cvs or pretty much any pharmacy. They r sold over the counter. ## Yes as far as I know, personally have broken in half over ten years. Have chronic pain and when I was not in as much pain I often only took half (5 mg.). Contact your pharmacist first, if you call your Dr. they might decrease dose, feeling you don't need as much, I am assuming you take for pain relief. If so may days you will need dose prescribed. Wish that was my problem, after ten yrs. a new doctor said I abused, took other non-prescribed drugs and street pills. Without one blood-urine examination, so not one Dr. Will prescribe me even my meds. For Ga...

My friend came across some pills in a friend of hers purse, and we cannot figure out what they are. Her friend said that they were Lortabs, but I have never seen a Lortab that looked like this. It is shaped just like a Lortab, but it has the numbers 93-490 just like that on it, and no pill cutter. If any one has an idea of what it is I would greatly appreciate your help. ## This tablet contains Acetaminophen 650 mg + Propoxyphene Napsylate 100 mg (NDC 67296-0378). Inactive Ingredients: - Castor Oil - Colloidal Silicon Dioxide - Hypromelloses - Magnesium Stearate - Cellulose, Microcrystalline - Povidone - Starch, Corn - Stearic Acid - Crospovidone Ref: DailyMed ## I found a white pill with 93-490 numbers on it and have no idea what it is, I have tried searching and searching to find out...

My 73 yr old husband was just put on Lisinopril 5 mg daily in addition to the half-tablet of 25 mg HCTZ he's been taking. The pharmacy gave him 10 mg Lisinopril which he is to cut in half but it is not designed to cut. When I try to cut it with the best pill cutter I could find, many of them us crush or cut unevenly. What can I do? I end up with a handful of crumbs that are not usable. ## Your best bet in this case, would be to crush the tablets, divide the crushed powder in half as nearly as you can and then just mix it in something such as juice or pudding. It is well known that when breaking or cutting a tablet you may not always get the full half a dose that you are supposed to, being a little off is not going to affect anything. ## I had the same issue. What I did was I contact...

Hello I have been taking a blue oval lisnopril 10-12.5 hctz once day. Can I cut this dose in half as I feel that dose is to high for me. There is no score line but have a pill cutter.. ## Ask your Doctor he/she may have something better in mind for you. Don't be doing such things on your own unless ;you are your own MD. ## I'm not suggesting you do this without discussing it with your doctor first, but I will say that cutting a pill in half to take a smaller dosage should not be a major concern as long as the tablet is not an extended/time-released formula. The notion that doing such a thing may be harmful without a doctor's supervision or say so, is "not always true" in my experience. In cases like this, taking the full dosage or tablet more than likely presents a g...

Hello, I am taking the 180 and about to run out, and have some 240 mgs left. Can i take them until my 180s get filled? Would there be any problems? They are the same except the dosage. ## Hello, Donald! How are you? It would be best not to raise your dosage, without your doctor's approval. Taking a higher dose could result in your experienced nausea, dizziness, lowered blood pressure and lowered heart rate, as reported by the FDA, which may put your life in danger. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Use a good pill cutter. Cut them in half. ## That's probably not a good idea since "ER" means "Extended Release" - they are likely coated to be time released and if you cut them in half, the dosage would take effect too much at one time. If the tablets don...

I need to be responsible with my Xanax taking and have got used to .25 doses. Why did DAVA decide you should take more by making their 2 mg bar 3 parts instead of the industry accepted four, as if more medicine is better? ## Hello, Eddy! How are you? There isn't necessarily an industry accepted standard, they don't have to score them, at all. If you want to be able to divide it into 4 pieces, then you should pick up a good pill cutter. Are there any other questions or concerns?

Doctor prescribed me to take 2 sazo 500 tablets at noon and night. Is it okay to have one sazo 1000 tablet insteed of 2 500 tablets? , as i only 1000 mg tablet near my place. ## nope please do whatever the doctor says... iam not sure whether u are having RA.. if so after a month the doctor will def ask u to take sazo 1000 mg twice per day.. ## @Stalin, If you're only able to fill your prescription for the 1000mg tabs, then you may need to get one of those pill cutters that divide it in two, in order to meet your doctor's dosing criteria. He probably wants you to take it twice in order to keep it building up in your system throughout the day. However I too realize that many pharmacies aren't always able to give you exactly what you need. I'd just verify what's going o...

I am taking oxycodone hcl 10 mg tablets. my pharmacist filled a new script with np 12 brand. I occasionally divide them to dose only as needed; which does not work very well. They dulled my pill cutters. Is this normal? Does anyone else have this problem? ## Hello, Dust! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you've had. No, that is a new one that no one else has mentioned, at least not yet. Are you making sure to line it up and cut with the little scores that are on the tablet? That usually makes it easier, since that's where they're intended to be cut or broken.
