Oxycodone Scored - Can I Cut It In Half For Half The Dose?
Updated
Comments Submitted Says:
I need to know if I can cut my 15mg oxycodone pills in half? They are light green with 15 on one side and M in a box on the other side. The pills are scored, which makes me think that I can safely cut them in half. I don't want the full 15mg dose, would prefer only 7.5 by cutting in half if possible.

Yes, this is a regular release Oxycodone, the generic for Roxicodone, so you can safely cut them in half.
The only time it isn't safe is if a medication is time released, or there are instructions specifically saying not to do so, because some medications can cause severe stomach irritation and other problems if released too fast, such as Potassium tablets.
You may experience side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth.
