- Tablet splitting: counselling the patients regarding techniques and tablet formatPublication . Alexandre, Ana; Jesus, Ângelo; Cruz, AgostinhoTablet splitting consists in subdividing a tablet in order to facilitate its intake or to provide smaller doses, although its efficacy depends on many factors, such as tablet shape, size, splitting technique/device and patient ability. This technique is commonly used in households. Problems associated with this technique are mainly due to the lack of ability to obtain equal parts after breaking the tablet, either due to physical characteristics or the patient´s ability to do so[3], and the loss of mass due to crumbles.
