Use a sharp, clean pill cutter designed for this purpose. Avoid using your teeth or dull blades.
Proper Cutting Techniques
Place the tablet firmly on the pill cutter’s blade. Apply even pressure to cut the tablet cleanly in half. Avoid crumbling. Inspect both halves for even splitting. Discard any uneven pieces.
Take each half with a full glass of water. Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding timing and dosage.
Potential Issues
- Uneven Dosage: Imperfect cuts can lead to inconsistent drug absorption, impacting efficacy. Tablet Degradation: Exposure to air and moisture can affect the drug’s stability. Store remaining halves in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Difficulty Swallowing: Smaller pieces might be harder to swallow than a whole tablet.
Important Note:
Always consult your doctor before cutting your Cialis or altering your prescribed dosage. They can advise on the best approach for your individual needs and health conditions.
Alternative Dosage Options:
Discuss with your physician alternative dosage options, including lower-strength Cialis tablets. This could help avoid the need to cut tablets altogether.
