Ask your doc first...I take half's when I am in less pain, & holes when I have brake through pain..less pill is better for you liver & whatnot. If I can take 3 & 1\2 & still control my pain....than I consider I'm doing my body a favor.

But Still Ask Your Doc First!!! Before Changing your regiment!!!!

@Yvonne,

While I agree with Patrick that you should discuss this with your doctor before making any changes to an existing regimen, I will say that M367 is made to be cut in half for a divided dose. The score line (divid) on the back is what confirms this...and you'd actually use that as a guide to measure half a dose. Several years ago I resorted to taking half of one of these (every 4-6 hours) after a nose surgery and it still worked just fine for me. But if I were having to rely on these long term, I'd definitely inform my doctor first so he/she can at least be aware in case they wonder why you haven't been taking as many come time for a check up/UA/pill count/etc. I also agree that less is best - if you can help it.

Take care!
