Don't split drugs with an enteric coating (designed to protect the stomach), drugs that are time-release or long-acting, drugs taken more often than once a day, drugs in capsules, and prepackaged drugs in specific doses, like birth control pills. Some immediate-release tablets may be split, and tablets that are scored have been evaluated by the FDA for safety. Pill splitters can be bought at most pharmacies for around $5. Some important things to consider before pill splitting: You'll need to ask your doctor if pill splitting is a good idea for your prescription if so, they will need to adjust your prescription accordingly.

Here's how it works: Imagine you take the 20mg dosage of a certain drug. You may be able to save up to 50% each month by splitting a higher dosage of this drug.
