Can I cut deworm pills surrounded by peices?
I need to get deworm pills to swallow and I be wondering if I can cut it into smaller peices because it is too big. Is there a certain amount that you can cut it close to 5 tiny pieces because I always gag and spit it out whenever I eat pills that are something like the size of Advils. I have never been competent to swallow pills and usually got the liquid-gels when I was sick. Please facilitate. Best Answer gets 10 points.
Answers: Since nobody has answered however, I'll toss in my 2 cents.
It depends on the pill. If it's a capsule or softgel, I would say aloud no.
Considering you said that you gag on it, I'm willing to bet it's a large tablet, though. Look on the ingredients register for the word "enteric" or that it has "layers" somewhere on the package. If you don't see it down in there, later you can cut it up.
Basically, an enteric coating makes it so that a tablet isn't digested until it gets into your intestines. If the product say it has different layers, after that means the product is designed for a delayed digestion as well (in a different approach, though). If you cut either of those types of pills open, it would failure the purpose of the formulation.
Good luck!
