The list of medications available for tablet splitting does not include all medications within a therapeutic class; only those medications determined to be appropriate for splitting are included.

Some of the tablets included in this program are not scored or designed specifically to be split. However, with the use of a tablet splitter, these medications may be appropriately divided. As is true with all medical decisions, you and your doctor will need to determine if the Half Tablet Program is right for you. Medications in the program will be reviewed periodically; additional medications may be included as appropriate.

All branded medications are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective owners.

 

This is a voluntary program. In addition, your doctor must agree that you are appropriate for the program. Not all medications are appropriate for tablet splitting. The medications in this program have been selected because they meet the requirements deemed appropriate for splitting. Consult your doctor before splitting any prescription tablets. Only split tablets with a device designed specifically for that purpose. Follow the instructions that are provided with your tablet splitter.
