Can dissolvable vitamin strips Be Cut in Half?
dissolvable vitamin strips are typically designed to deliver a precise dosage of active ingredients, so cutting them in half is generally not recommended. Doing so might result in an uneven distribution of the active ingredient, which could lead to an incorrect dose being administered.
However, if the manufacturer indicates that the strip can be divided or if it has clear perforations for this purpose, then it may be safe to cut the strip. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions or consult a healthcare provider if you are unsure.
Scientific Evidence: A study in International Journal of Pharmaceutics (2018) notes that altering the form of an oral strip can affect its dissolution rate and the uniformity of the dose, potentially leading to less predictable effects.
