Can I split my rifagut 400 mg pill in half to get the dosage for rifagut 200 mg? I've been told to take rifagut 200 mg twice a day for my diarrhea, and I'm wondering if this is a safe way to adjust the dosage.

When considering splitting a rifaximin 400 mg pill to achieve a 200 mg dose, keep these points in mind:
- Tablet Design: Rifaximin tablets may not be scored, leading to uneven doses if split.
- Dosage Accuracy: Splitting might not provide an exact 200 mg dose, affecting treatment.
- Safety and Efficacy: Use the exact prescribed dose form for safety and effectiveness.
- Consult Your Pharmacist or Doctor: Confirm with your healthcare provider if splitting is safe or if a 200 mg tablet is available.
- Alternative Options: If 200 mg tablets aren't available, your doctor might adjust the prescription.
In summary, consult your healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective treatment for your diarrhea.
