Splitting antibiotic dosage?Parchment

Posted , 1 user is following.

I was prescribed an antibiotic. I'm supposed to take one tablet in the morning and one in the evening. I noticed that the tablets can be split in half. Is it OK or even preferred to take half a tablet every 6 hours instead of one tablet every 12 hours?
