Have you cut the round yellow carbidopa/levodopa pill in half even though it does not have a score line? If so can you share your experience?

While I appreciate all responses, please only respond if you have the experience of cutting the pill in half.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member that is a good piece of information for me and anyone wanting to split them. I have a pill splitter so I will see if mine works just as well if not I will try the Walmart one.

Actually, I find them very difficult to split evenly even with a pill splitter. Probably waste a lot that way, too.

Yes I cut mine in half. You can get a “pill cutter” at
Your local drug store that will allow you to split them perfectly every time. It’s time consuming and tedious but
It can be done.
