A member asked:
Penicillin v potassium is it ok to break in half trouble swallowing. pharmacist said ok? does it stay in your system long finished it 4 days ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I'm assuming you are talking about the tablet not the powder form. If so, the tablets are scored so yes you can cut it in half. Half of it is gone from your system within 1/2h and within a few hours is gone altogether provided you have normal kidney function.
