Biaxin- cutting pills in half

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I started the Biaxin afew days ago- 500mg 2X a day. I started this out

by cutting a pill in half, taking that first to see if I got a

reaction. I was ok. Then, I tried the whole pill (with food as

directed). I threw up half of my guts. Now, I've decided to cut the

pills in half and take them 4X a day, but within 2 hours each time so

I don't throw up. Does anyone think this will mess up the

effectiveness of the medication? It also gives me a really bad taste

and slight nausea, but those seem to be the only side effects so far.
