i have to take these capsule pills and they are too big to swallow, is it ok to cut them in half!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
No! Carefully open them, and pour half of the powder in water, and save the other half (carefully!) for your next dose!.
You only cut pills in half when they are scored (have a line down the middle where you can cut them!.) :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

If they are pills, I think it would be fine; if you mean capsules (where it has loose powder inside a plasticy skin) then maybe not!.
Why do they make the pills so big!?!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've seen it done in movies before, and I guess as long as you swollow it quick enough, you should be fine!.

it all goes down the same hole anyway :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
