Can I split a chewable tablet safely?

I was wondering if I could split a chewable tablet

Answered on 22nd Mar '25

Generally, if a medication is designed to be chewable, splitting it is usually not necessary and might affect its effectiveness. Chewable forms are formulated for proper absorption when taken whole. If you're experiencing difficulty with the dosage or have concerns, the best step is to discuss this with your physician. They can provide personalized advice and may offer alternatives that suit your needs better.

I have used braces for 10 months as I have gaps between my teeth and then used retainer for 1 year. And after one more year, now my teeth are moving same as previous and getting gaps between them. can you tell that you can fix this permanently ?

Female | 22

The retainer often causes this issue because it doesn't fit properly, allowing teeth to shift and gaps to reappear. You may need to see your orthodontist to determine if braces or a different retainer are needed. It's crucial to follow your orthodontist's instructions carefully to maintain the results of your treatment.

That may mean you are getting a foul breath and produce extra saliva. Those are indicated by a dental or gum problem. I would therefore suggest consulting with the dentist for a complete evaluation and treatment.

I have a hole in my right upper molar with a large brow hole. The tooth has hurt for a while.

Female | 18

It seems you are suffering from a toothache that is leading to a cavity, which is a very frequent dental problem. This issue is caused by the decay of a tooth that is mainly due to bacteria. Symptoms like pain are the signals that might indicate the condition needs attention. Then the dentist will identify the area of decay and manage it with a filling or, in case of severe damage, a root canal. Along with taking care of the teeth by brushing and flossing daily, oral hygiene can help you stay healthy and away from other problems. Therefore, the treatment by a doctor will help you get the best way to your full recovery and also make your tooth comfortable to live with.

Two days ago, I underwent dental surgery and had sutures in my gums as a result. Normal food wasn't an option. Everything I eat makes me feel nauseous, and I'm becoming weaker all the time. Also, a loss of appetite. Is there anything I may take in the form of supplements? Is there a particular one, that you'd want to proscribe.

Female | 40

have soft diet and take curd along with bifilac capsule once a day for 5 to 6 days.
