What does it mean when a pill is scored?

When a pill is scored, it means that it has a line or groove on its surface, which allows it to be easily split into smaller doses. This feature is particularly useful for patients who may need a lower dosage than what is provided in a whole pill. Scoring indicates that the medication can be safely divided without compromising its effectiveness. However, not all pills are designed to be split, so it's important to consult a pharmacist or healthcare provider before doing so.
