What kind of starch is in the aspirin and can it be cut in half?

I have no idea about the starch. Unless you are allergic, what does it matter. This pill taken at the first sign of chest pain probably may help save your life and at that time your concern will not be what kind of starch is in the pill. It is a medicine to keep a few pills with you for emergency, but use sparingly.

I'm not sure what you are asking, this is readily available online. You can probably sub another starch like corn or tapioca, but your results will probably be different.

from what I researched, 1 1/2T of clear gel is equivalent to 1T of corn starch. I can't say for sure because I haven't used it for a substitute of corn starch. I hope this helps you some.

I use it to cut a different pill in half, but my answer might help. My pill is the size of aspirin, and I cut it in half. Frequently - around 1 out of 5 cuts - one half crumbles, at least a little. It's the best cutter I've found, but based on what I get with cutting in half, I doubt cutting in quarters will be very good. Have you ever tried using a single-edged razor blade?

I just cut one in half. Seemed to cut into two pieces just fine. I used a pill splitter.

the last bottle I bought had non-coated tabs. Just aspirin and starch to hold it together.

The directions on the bottle suggest half or even whole. I use mine more as preventative, so I only use a small handful every time.

It comes as powder in a plastic capsule. So there is no way you can accurately half it. Sorry.

I actually cut the bottle in half and use a knife or spatula to remove the remaining liquid. This may sound crazy or odd, but there is always a bunch left in the bottle. I do this for tubes, too.

You specified neither the diameter of the pill nor the manufacturer, so I'll give a generic answer. I cut pills that measure 7.5mm in diameter, and I'm sure even smaller pills could be cut in half, certainly 5mm in diameter or even less.

I don't have a package in the house right now to say. There *might* be a bit of tapioca starch in there. I can't remember. Go to the Julian Bakery, Inc. website. The ingredients are listed there.

They are not made to be broken in half. if you have a pill cutter they could be. My question to you is why would you want to take just half.You can not get too much B-12. I started with the 1,000 mcg and now take the 5,000mcg each day.

No, it is a scant 1/8th cup. I got that info from Google, so I hope it is correct. I haven't used my starch the way I should. I had a checked out a book about it with recipes and that caused me to order it. But even though I copied some of the recipes, I still have most of mine in the pantry. Hope this helps.

The original Alka Seltzer contains 325mg of aspirin as listed per their website. I had to look as I didn't know either. Hope this helps.

These are "Large Capsules" and seem to go down easier than the other kind, which, of course, you could cut in half and swallow. How's that for HELPFUL?

Each tablet contains: buffered aspirin equal to 325 mg aspirin (buffered with magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide)
