Why Do Pills Have A Line Through Them

If a pill has a line through it, does it mean that if you split it you will consume half the dose?

That is correct. Many different companies have lines (score marks) through the center of their pills so they can be cut in half if the full dose is too strong. Some patients may have to build up a tolerance to certain medications before they can handle the full dose.
