To reduce the high costs of prescription drugs, some people stop taking their medication altogether, putting their health in jeopardy. Others cut their pills in half to save money\u2014and improper pill splitting can be downright dangerous. But when handled with care (and with approval from your doctor), it\u2019s mostly okay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why split pills?<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are several reasons to split pills. \u201cIf I need 50 milligrams each time I take a drug, buying 100 milligram tablets and splitting them in half can result in a significant cost savings,\u201d says <\/span>Craig Svensson<\/span><\/a>, Pharm.D., Dean Emeritus and professor of medicinal chemistry and molecular pharmacology at Purdue University College of Pharmacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes, a doctor may prescribe you a dose that\u2019s lower than the tablets produced by manufacturers. Or, if someone struggles to swallow a large pill, they may split it into more manageable portions, Dr. Svensson says.<\/span><\/p>\n

Splitting pills can be dangerous<\/b><\/h2>\n

Not all pills can be cut in half safely, especially coated tablets and time-release capsules.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Avoid splitting any medication labeled as an \u201centeric-coated tablet,\u201d<\/b> including some over-the-counter pain relievers and back pain medications. \u201cThose are designed so the tablet doesn\u2019t dissolve until it gets to the intestines so that your stomach is protected,\u201d Dr. Svensson says. \u201cIf you break the pill, you lose the benefit the coating was designed for.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Time-release, delayed-release and extended-release medication<\/b>, often indicated by an \u201cXR\u201d next to the name, should never be crushed or broken either. \u201cWhen you cut a long-acting pill, you can end up making the dose come out much higher and faster, which can be dangerous,\u201d explains <\/span>Dr. Maria Torroella\u00a0Carney<\/span><\/a>, chief of the division of geriatric and palliative medicine and Northwell Health.<\/span><\/p>\n

Medications that can be split<\/b><\/h2>\n

So how do you know which pills can be split? One clue is a scored tablet, meaning the pill is scored down the middle or in quarters. But the best way to find out is to ask your pharmacist, Dr. Svensson says. \u201cCheck both the name of the drug and the specific type of formulation, as it can vary from different manufacturers,\u201d he explained.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to split a pill safely<\/b><\/h2>\n

Talk to your healthcare provider first<\/b>. No matter the reason you\u2019re splitting your pills\u2014whether it\u2019s an OTC pill or a prescribed drug\u2014you should work with your doctor to make sure you\u2019re getting the correct dose.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you split a medicine without telling your provider, it can confuse the outcome,\u201d Dr. Carney explains. \u201cNurses and doctors will adjust your medication based on what they think you\u2019re taking, so be honest with them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure that you\u2019re correctly breaking your medicine<\/b> after you have the go ahead from your doctor. Research shows that there can be a <\/span>large fluctuation in weight and dosages of split medication<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf the pill is scored, grip each side of it with your hands and bend it right where the score is to break it in half,\u201d Dr. Svensson says. \u201cBut if it crumbles, discard it. Some tablets, even though they\u2019re scored, don\u2019t break in half consistently.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or, buy a pill-splitting device<\/b><\/a> online or at the pharmacy. Keep in mind that medicine can degrade after it\u2019s split, so don\u2019t break all your pills at once. Just do it as you need to take it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
