Its scored so it could be cut. The best bet is to get a pill splitter and be sure you cut it on the score. You want to be careful you get them even. Any pharmacy or walmart will have them.

My pills are not scored although a pill splitter would work. However, these pills are very sensitive to moisture, and so come in "blister" packaging, so each blister has to be opened separately. It would be best to discard the 2nd half after you take the first one, as even after 24 hours it may lose strength.
