Drugstores carry pill grinders which will grind these to a powder and then you can add the powder to a smoothy or something else tasty for the child.Best of luck to you, I hope it works for your child.PMD

I use the capsules. So, possibly they could be opened and split in half. I also use the gel capsules which obviously could not be split. I'm sorry I have not used the tablets. But I will say the supplement has helped me tremendously.

They are capsules so they could be opened, not sure exactly how you would want to give it to a child.

The tablets are about the size of an aspirin or a little bigger, but they are not smooth or slick, and they start to dissolve quickly. They could be easily crushed and mixed with something. They do have a vitamin flavor, but that could maybe work. If she doesn't have a problem with the taste of them, chewing might be okay for a while. Best of luck!

I don't have any problems with the swallowing of the tablet.... If you are concerned with the size I would suggest cutting it in half. This is what I would do, it is a great vitamin!

It is the size of a multi-vitamin/mineral, which is not huge but on the large size. I think you could easily break the pill in half.

They are pretty big in size, in my opinion. If your child has issues taking pills, you might want to cut it in half.

It is not a chewable tablet. Standard pill shape, however does not seem to be milled particularly hard. My dog has been taking for over a year, absolutely no problem in chewing it. He loves the flavors, considers it a treat. No notches on the pill for cutting, but because it is not very hard or dense, probably not difficult, especially with one of those pill cutting devices found at drug stores, or probably on Amazon.

Sorry not sure which one you are referring too. I have ordered a gel tablet which I don't believe can be cut and also a capsule filled with a power that I don't think can be cut either.

No mfg split in the tablet for a person to work with - maybe their are pill cutters made ? to splithard tablets w/o the line in them, but I think they would be very hard to split accurately.

These tablets are a very easy size to swallow. If needed they can be broken in half to make swallowing easier. They are not a capsule but a tablet. Get them, they're great!

It is an average size capsule, not a tablet. I find capsules harder to get down than tablets.

I have found that small pills can be cut with this device depending upon the hardness and shape of the pill. "Caplets" are fairly easy to cut while small round pills cut less evenly. My suggestions are to try it and make sure the pill splitter is on a firm surface. Good luck!

They are the standard size capsules that you find in most supplements. (sorry don't know the actual number), but either way, I think it may be too large for a young child to swallow whole, you may have to open and put into apple sauce or something.

I take a medication that is quite tiny, I would estimate it to be about 1/8" diameter. Before answering your question, I just tried it in the pill cutter and didn't have any difficulty. Another reviewer complained about the orange part being uneven. Mine isn't, so it would be able to split small pills successfully. If you receive one with the defect mentioned I would recommend exchanging it.

Yes, you can split pills that are very small. I would not try that on my own very small tablets because I could not control/know if they split exactly in half, especially for rectangular shaped medicines. Splitting something 1/8 of an inch results in two 1/16 inch halves. I feel that is too small for me to confidently know my pill is split exactly in half. If the dosage is not critical I would use this pill splitter for 1/8 inch pills.
