Hi Kathy,
If you ever do chop the tablets up you must be careful that they are not slow release ones. I mentioned to the doc that i cut the pills he gave me in half, and he said that some tablets and vitamins are coated so that they dissolve slowly and then work over a longer period of time. By cutting them up, this ruins that effect and then the dosage can be wrong.
Might pay to ask the doc or chemist.
