Pill help - Prodeine 15

[Ranga]

I have in my possession some protein-15 tablets 15mg codeine/500 paracetamol. They are scored pills and I would like to know if they can be split to get just the 15mg codeine. I know the pills can be split in half easily because they are scored what I'm asking is which half will contain codeine or will both halfs contain paracetamol/codeine?
Note: the pills have pro written on one half and 15 on the othe also Cwe not an option atm

No, they cannot be split as you describe to have one half codeine and one paracetamol. Once upon a time nurofen plus (that brand only and that product only) could be split lengthways (perpendicular to where the score would be but along the side of the tablet) to separate the codeine. Not anymore and not in any other codeine product I know of though.

Play it safe and do a CWE if you're taking more than the recommended dose. Paracetamol isn't something to risk overdosing on.
