Can I split meloxicam 15 mg tablets in half?

It is not recommended to divide meloxicam tablets or any other medicine without first consulting your doctor or pharmacist. Dividing tablets may change their dosage and thus affect the effectiveness of the medicine. In addition, some tablets may have a special coating designed to release the active ingredient gradually in the body, and dividing such tablets may interfere with this mechanism.
If you need a lower dosage of meloxicam, discuss this with your doctor. Your doctor can consider alternatives or find the right dosage for your needs. You should not change the dosage or divide tablets without consulting your health care professional.
