Can a 50mg Riluzole tablet be split in half?

Posted by mogger on October 2, 2021, at 21:52:45

I cant tolerate high doses of Riluzole as it affects my speech but is phenomenal for my depression. Going to give it a shot at a lower dose but what does everyone think about splitting the tablet even if not scored and instructions say not to split?

Normally you can split a pill whether it has a score or not, but if the instructions are not to split it, there are probably good reasons for that. So you probably shouldn't, but it does not cost much to try it for a few times, now does it? So try it and see if it works. If it doesn't, and you don't get an effect from even 2 halves (taken at the same time), you will know that you shouldn't split any more of them.
