Can you cut oxycodone hcl 30 mg in half?
YES .. you can cut it in half, but question should be, 'if I cut a 30 mg oxycodone in half, will each half have the same amount of oxycodone'. This is what I'm told to do with my 30 mg and I don't trust that each half is equal in dose. My VA doctor prescribes the 5 mg but the pharmacy changes it to 30 mg and tells me to cut them in half. Have complained, written letters, and it gets corrected 'once' and then back tot he 30's. They did supply a pill splitter but what a pain in the ass to cut these little pills. The 30's are the same size as the 5's. If the pill has a splitting line, then it is certified to be cut in half and there will be about half the does remaining in each half. If there is no splitting line, there you are correct to be uncertain about the distribution of the active ingredient within the pill. However, half of 30 is 15, not 5 so, more importantly, if you doctor is prescribing 5mg pills, and the pharmacist is filling with 30mg pills, then the pharmacist is guilty of malfeasance and needs to lose his or her license. It sounds like you need to contact your local Attorney General's office and/or the FDA. Also, get your doctor involved.
