Absolutely !! It may cause the Pre-Nats to break down faster as they are split. Be sure to take them with food or milk . If you do experience stomach upset, then take the vitamin before you go to bed. In many instances, it is ok to take Flintstone chewables( 2) if you continue to have trouble swallowing the Pre-Nats. But, you should let your OB Doc's office be aware as well, or even at your next visit just so that he/she is aware. In addition, you may need to take Folic Acid with the chewable, which is a small pill but, I'm certain that the Flintstone Chewables, may not have the recommended amount of Folic Acid. I hope that this helps.

Prenatal supplementations additionally are obtainable in chewable or liquid supplementations as antagonistic to those you swallow finished. The tablets superb perfect to splitting -- and in accordance to a pair, the only tablets -- are those scored down the middle, making them much less stressful to divide. drugs that are time-launch or long-performing. slicing the pill destroys the time-launch result, meaning you ought to get too lots of the medicine too straight away. "in case you chop up a pill that has an prolonged-performing launch, you ought to conceivably get an overdose."

It depends on if it has a thing called a score to make it easier to break in half. I would recommend checking with your doctor as well. It's also possible you may have to change brands to one that makes a smaller pill size.
