Can these be broken in half? My Dr suggested 50mg but I'm afraid of GI upset and want to go slowly.

Yes. Very easily. Don't waste your money on a tablet splitter for these. I used a kitchen knife and board with no problems.

Yes, these tablets can be broken in half. However, they may have sharp corners that could be difficult to swallow.

The other day I saw online that you are not supposed to cut time-release Melatonin in half. Supposedly it does something to the time release.bthis company does have a smaller dosage time-release tablet.

I find the size to be quite acceptable. If you find it to be too large then cut it in half using a pill splitter which you can buy at any drug store. Take one half then the other. If you have ever taken Centrum Silver you will find that pill to be much larger than the Nature Made.

Not for me, but I never have had issues with such things. They are large pills, but rounded and soft (semi squishy--liquidy inside), so I think an average person can have them with fair ease.

They are fairly large but also come in 100mg that are small. You can take two of the smaller 100mg instead of a large 200mg capsule.

Cutting them in half is no problem, but quartering maybe difficult. They can be easily crushed or ground with a cheap coffee grinder.

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.

You can bend them about as much as a half circle without breaking them. They are a little persistent and will want to return back to their original shape though but if you can hold them down at the bend you want you should be ok

The tablets are rather large. I would imagine you could cut them down, though there is no slit in the middle to help you. I have no problem swallowing them whole. But, if you struggle with large pills, you may have a hard time with these whole. They are fantastic vitamins though, and I researched them pretty thoroughly. Just for the sake of honestly answering you. I tried, it wasn't too difficult to cut in half with a chef's knife.

These can be taken all at once or split up throughout the day. I prefer to split them up. I feel there is greater absorption and it is easier to swallow due to the size of the tablets. It is personal preference.

the pills are 3/8 of an inch wide. Don't know why you would want to cut them into 4's. the dose is 1 tablet 1 - 2 times a day. I take one a day. Cutting into 4's would not be easy, they are round, flat pills.

Better thsn pastilles. One is a full dose if rescue remedy. Dissolve in your mouth.

Hi Kelly, yes they can be crushed or opened if you like. I would do that each time you want to take them and not the whole bottle at one time though. That will keep the probiotics fresh and help them to live longer.

Yes, they break very easy. they have a score mark that helps break them. They don't always break exactly in half, but close.

They are solid tablets so I believe they could be split. I have not tried to split them.

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..

I wouldn't chew them, but that's just me. My suggestion would be to get a pill splitter and split them. I bought a good one from Amazon and use it to split vitamins and my diabetic med pills which are large. Maybe this would work for you!
