Splitting Supradyn Tablets

Hello, I'm having hard time swallowing Supradyn film-coated pills. I was curious if the splitting the tablet in half (for easier swallowing obviously) will reduce the effect of the pill, or have some other negative effect. Thanks...

Usually if there is a score line (divid) embedded into the tablet, it means the manufacturer purposely made it so patients could easily cut it in half. However from personal experience, I've found that with typical multivitamin/mineral tablets (such as Supradyn), it doesn't seem like there should be any problems if you were to cut it in half. I've cut similar 'horse' pills (as I like to call them) in half before because they were simply too big to be swallowed whole.

If you cant find a good pill splitter though, I would probably encourage you to look into other brands that may have smaller tablets. Some supplements like this also come in capsules or powders; whereas you could simply empty the contents into a shot of water and be done with it. So that may be something worth considering down the road depending on how things works out for you.

I hope this helps!
