Can these tablets be broken in half?

I've never tried to break them in half but it would be hard to do without cutting them with a knife--even then it might be hard. They're pretty solid but now that I've reviewed other people's answers, I guess it can be done. I'm glad to learn it!

Yes, but be careful taking these pills, especially if you have any heart problems because the action can lead to congestive heart failure due to the body retaining too much water.

I'm not sure if a pill cutter would work to split exactly but the tablets are not scored to break in half.

They are very hard. I have never tried. It might be easier to partially let them dissolve. But if you had a pill cutter it would probably work

There are no guide indents to break the pills in two and they seem hard. I don't think they can be easily broken evenly. This is A very good product and very reasonable

Yes, quite easily with a pill splitter. Can also be crushed if need be. My daughter had a feeding tube and needed the salt to be dissolved in the formula. Hope this helps.

I guess if you really need to, you could try a pill cutter. The pills seem to be too hard to break otherwise, & I don't see a score on them. Good luck with the pill cutter!

Mine was broke from the first day! I went to the local fixing place, I was told this tablet is cheap, there is no part to replace it. I didn't have chance to use it. Sorry :-(

It is OK to break tablet into two or three or to crush. After crushing you can stir in room temp water or juice and drink as well. Cheers.

I just swalled them whole, since they are capsules I dont think you can cut them in half or anything. They DID NOT work for me, after 3 months I stopped ordering them.

yes, they can be broken in-two. they are very big and hard to swallow if not broken....may even want to crush them.

break them in 1/2 if they are too large for you. break them in 1/4 if you want. They aren't time release so it won't matter.

No mfg split in the tablet for a person to work with - maybe their are pill cutters made ? to splithard tablets w/o the line in them, but I think they would be very hard to split accurately.

I don't think so. The tablets break apart very easily so I would say that they are not coated with anything and they dissolve very easily

Not sure if it can be broke in half, never needed to even try... I think you might be able to saw it in half but it might splinter around the edges which might be unsafe for such a smaller dog. Large or small, honestly think it just depends on the overall quality of the rack they send. I've ordered large ones every time and I've got ones that my dog chews through in less then 2 weeks while some last up to 4 months. It's a bit of a gamble every time I order these.

These are easily broken in half pressing the middle of the tablet on the edge of a counter with both hands while still in the plastic wrapper. Snaps right in half in the wrapper. Unless my dishwasher is really full I use half a tablet and the dishes come out perfectly clean every time.

That's why I bought it, but although it halves small pills fine, when you try to split the halves, some of it crumbles. If you're trying to cut a big tablet, you shouldn't have any trouble.

I've never broken the tablet in half although I do have a small dog. My dachshund weighs 17 lbs and I give her one tablet a day. She thinks its a treat and chews it up without problems.

Yes, you can snap them in half. Just remember to keep it in the wax wrapper when you snap it. I have used them in my Parker SR1 razor when I'm in the mood to use a straight razor.

I suspose they can be cut in half. They come in plastic packaging. Once cut you would have loose powder.

I never tried that, but it seems possible. However, why pay more to get it prepared in capsule form if you are going to take it apart anyway?

They certainly can be crushed. I have previously taken the 1000 mg tablets and cut them in half in order to just take 500 mg. I however have not ever crushed one completely and taken it but I don't see why that would be any problem. Hope this is helpful..

No. It would break. I made the molds then just stuck the two halves together. It worked great.
