Delayed Release: Olmetec Plus' a delayed release (DR) tablet & the film coating helps to delay release for long-term action. If split, it isn't dangerous per se, but it's best 2 take both halves ASAP so that u get close to the "full dose" effect. Understand each tablet bit isn't "half dose" & a split DR tablet's release is unpredictable, so if the full dose's too strong, TTYD for a different prescription strength.
