If the dosage you need is less than half of a scored tablet, you could notify your doctor and perhaps get a prescription for a smaller dose pill...or if it is water soluble, you can crush the pill and place it in water. For example, if your dosage is 1/3 of the pill that you have, you could take 3 teaspoons of water and mix with the crushed/powdered contents thoroughly, then for your dosage, you would take 1 teaspoon of the mixture...and discard the remainder (other 2 teaspoons). Some pills cut into fourths well, others do not break evenly enough to assure you are getting the same amount of medication every time.
