Can I cut my baclofen tablet in half?
Yes. In fact, most baclofen tablets have a scored line on them to help you cut your tablet in half. If you are instructed to cut your baclofen tablet in half, use a pill splitter, instead of a knife. This will help make sure you split the tablet evenly and safely.
