What does it mean when a tablet is described as "scored"?

When a tablet is described as "scored," it means that the tablet has a line or groove on its surface specifically designed for easy splitting. This feature allows patients to divide the tablet into smaller doses if necessary, ensuring accurate and manageable dosing. The scoring helps to facilitate this process by providing a guide for where to break the tablet, making it safer and more convenient for individuals who may need to adjust their medication intake based on their doctor's instructions or personal needs.
