No but you can attempt to separate the capsule and divide the little balls into equal parts.
Yes.
NO!
I read the info sheet on this drug as I wanted to cut them in half and it did not say not to cut them in half and I have used them cut in half. call your pharmacy to make sure .
Not if they are extended release (ER)
Do not cut the Singular or montelukast tablets in half as they are not scored. If the tablet is scored in the middle then some manufacturers allow you to cut the tablet. Speak to your pharmacist regarding your specific prescription.
That's a lot like asking "How do you convert 1 foot to 6 inches?" It can't be done, because 1.2 g is not the same as 600 mg, and it never will be unless you cut it in half and throw half of it away. 1 g = 1,000 mg 1.2 g = 1,200 mg 600 mg = 0.6 g
The amount of time depends on the half life of a drug. In this case the half life of hydrocodone is said to be 3-4 hours meaning. every 3-4 hours the dose is cut in half. 20 mg to 10 mg 10 mg to 5 mg 5 mg to 2.5 mg and so on. usually you want a 3 day period before taking any drug tests if you have taken opiates
Yes, 2.5 mg is half of a 5 mg pill. When you divide the 5 mg dosage by 2, you get 2.5 mg, which means taking half of the pill results in a 2.5 mg dose.
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.
One half of a 0.1mg tablet is 0.05mg
Yes, 0.5mg is a half of 1mg.
