Hello, Todd! How are you?

No, it is not safe to cut or break any time released medication. Doing so could result in your getting too much of the medication at once, which may cause an overdose.

The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
