If the drug of 500mg is broken in the middle, will it become 250mg? Find out what the facts are

Since the Corona epidemic hit the country in 2020, medicine has been the only recourse for those battling the disease. So that drug consumption increased. Not only that, people are taking different types of medicines to prevent infection. But you may have noticed many times that medicines are not available according to our needs. For example, according to the disease, doctors advise us to take 250mg medicine, but when we go to the store, we find that there is no 250mg medicine, but 500mg is available. In such a situation, the householders say that 500mg medicine should be taken in half. But is this true, does reducing the size of the drug also reduce its power?

The doctor also gives half the medicine

When you are going to take medicine from a clinic near home, sometimes even the doctor will give you half the medicine. But can they do the same with every pill or are there only a few pills that can be given by breaking in between?

This tablet can only be broken down and eaten

According to media reports, not all pills can be broken and eaten. It is said that there is a line between drugs that can be broken down and eaten. Such a tablet is named 'Score Tablet'. Just breaking and eating such a tablet halves its power.
