A member asked:
If you break a 500mg in half does it become 250mg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Approximately: It is not possible to perfectly break a tablet into two exactly equal portions. So the two halves will provide 500 mg in total but there will be a slight, usually clinically unimportant, difference between the two halves.
