Do not cut the Singular or montelukast tablets in half as they are not scored. If the tablet is scored in the middle then some manufacturers allow you to cut the tablet. Speak to your pharmacist regarding your specific prescription.
no. I am not sure what happens though.
Yes if you cut it exactly in half but usually there will be some difference in the two parts after cutting a tablet into.
If the dosage you need is less than half of a scored tablet, you could notify your doctor and perhaps get a prescription for a smaller dose pill...or if it is water soluble, you can crush the pill and place it in water. For example, if your dosage is 1/3 of the pill that you have, you could take 3 teaspoons of water and mix with the crushed/powdered contents thoroughly, then for your dosage, you would take 1 teaspoon of the mixture...and discard the remainder (other 2 teaspoons). Some pills cut into fourths well, others do not break evenly enough to assure you are getting the same amount of medication every time.

I found no contraindications to crushing or opening the tablets only to use the open or cut tab at the next dose - not to leave a cut capsule exposed."You may break the scored tablets into two pieces, but make sure you use the second half of the tablet as the next dose."Please follow whatever directions your doctor has given for your unique situation but feel free to inquire about anything that you need clarification.More info at the link.
No! Never cut a tablet labeled XR in half it is an extended release tablet made to be slowly broken down by the body. If you break it in half you will receive to much medication at a time. Talk to you doctor about lowering you dosage or about taking the 20mg every other day.
