metoclopramide - is it safe to cut it in half?

Question

I am wondering if it is safe to cut reglan or metoclopramide in half? It is expensive and my dose has been lowered.

Answer 1

Yes, Reglan or the generic metoclopramide is not a time-released product and may be safely cut or broken. Invest in a tablet cutter available at any pharmacy. It's safer than using a "safety" razor.

Be well.

Answer 2

I just use a cheap pair of wire cutters when I need to 'adjust'.

I haven't needed a prescription for at least a year now, though.

According to recent studies conducted by the Pritikin Longevity Center, diabetes starts from too much fat in the diet and insufficient exercise, not malfunction of the pancreas as previously thought. The pancreas continues to produce insulin when you have diabetes but the body becomes insulin resistant. Research has shown that over 90% of diabetes cases can be TOTALLY CORRECTED with diet and exercise. That means that you don't have to have limbs removed due to diabetes-induced gangrene. You don't have to go blind or suffer cardiovascular abnormalities because of diabetes. You can actually REVERSE some of these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise, and the removal of parasites and candida.

Best of luck.

If the tablet is scored you can break it in half. It it is not scored then use a sharp nice to make an even slice to cut it in half or buy a cheap pill splitter at your drug store/walmart.
