Can these be cut in half?

These tablets are not scored (meaning an indented line down the middle of one side of the pill), and without this scoring, it is difficult to cut any tablet in half evenly every try and often they crumble up on one side of the cut pill. I have cut them in half, by placing a sharp knife in the middle and pressing down firmly. Please read my review re my experiences with the 3mg pill. As an RN, we were taught to never cut Rx tablets in half unless they were scored with the line, because the dosage cannot be accurate every time (it is against nursing law to cut pills that are not scored with the line). My suggestion is to purchase a lowered dosage tablet to begin with to see how you react. Also I would discuss Melatonin either with your MD or your Pharmacist before taking them.

they're only being cut too thin if half of the picture is gone. you can never really cut these ¨too thin¨, but it's obviously possible to cut them too thick. I used an exacto-knife. It took a little while to get used to, but if you cut these on a cutting board in a downward pressing motion you can really get into the rhythm and cut them quicker.

Not easily. They're very hard plastic and hard to cut. I'd recommend making something with wire or nails yourself.

Yes, it can be cut in half but you will have to stitch for them to hold up under washing. I would recommend buying the smaller sizes. I bought this larger size for pulling a bedridden patient back in the proper position in bed after slipping toward the end of the bed.

I ordered these for my mother who is caregiver to my father with Alzheimer's. I think you could cut these in half but you would want to finish the edges on a sewing machine...zigzag or serge so they won't separate when washed.

trim with a utility knife or super shears. I believe they would be too thick at the thick end for scissors.

Good afternoon, we have had some people in the past do this, and had great succses, however, if you were to do this, we would not be able to take any return. They are solid core, so if you chose to cut them, it SHOULD work. Thanks, Aaron

Yes. You can cut them with regular scissors. It was easier for me to cut before removing the backing.

you could probably cut these, but you would need some heavy duty/work scissors! good luck.

Yes. if you follow the instructions and cut in half, you will have approx. 4 inches remaining from each 'half' after doing the top and bottom.

No. You swallow them or if it's too big for that, try cutting them in half...

No you can't cut them to adjust the length. Why would you want or need to ?

Not easy....usually with a hacksaw or an axe. I just usually cut them in half, not small pieces...
