Can xarelto be cut in half ?

Tablet or the dose?: Xarelto affects blood clotting & shouldn't be stopped abruptly. 15 mg or 20 mg tablets may be crushed and mixed with applesauce immediately prior to swallowing. After swallowing, the dose should be immediately followed by food. Do not change the dose on your own - speak with your physician before making any changes. http://www.xareltohcp.com/sites/default/files/pdf/xarelto_0.pdf

Yes, YetCarefulAbout: dose/day. Xarelto inhibits clot formation & is Rx'ed because of evidence/concern of forming clots inside blood vessels (not just at blood vessel breaks) thus any bleeding problems are ↑ed. Xarelto does NOT thin blood; blood viscosity does not change. Can efficacy of Xarelto to ↓ clotting be checked? Yes, using TEG machine, see: http://goo.gl/XxOW9c, good for checking any kind of clotting issue.
