A member asked:
Can i break sucrafate tab (1g) in half? there is also a syrup avalabke but my question is about tablets that i have in latge quantity.

Yes: You can break them in half, but make sure that you are taking both halves and taking them as prescribed. The quantity is fairly large because that medication is usually prescribed 3-4 times a day. It works locally within the GI tract rather than in the blood stream so breaking them is ok. Hope this helps.
