Yes: you could use a pill cutter to cut it in half. Luckily it is not a medicine that is dangerous to split. Some versions are even scored. Either way, no problem. Finally remember to drink plenty of water and eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables which contain all sorts of vitamins and minerals.
