A member asked:
These butalbital pills are to big for me to swallow, can i cut them i. half?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
First, why do you take a barbiturate? And if it is a sustained release, cutting it in half can result in flooding the system with a potential overdose. Have you contacted your doctor to discuss your swallowing challenges?
