i believe so but you just have to cut it smaller.

typically it is 1/4 of a 10mg pill to be given about half hour before eating.

the maximum strength is 20mg yes? if so, then you'd have to cut it into something resembling 1/8 size pieces.

It's still Pepcid AC, but some places now only carry the 20mg tablets (maximum strength), instead
of the 10mg ones.

Usual dose: 1/8th of a 20mg tablet 2x/day.

First cut into 1/4ths, Then stand the 1/4th piece on its curved edge, point upward.

Now using a very sharp knife, cut down through the piece, making two 1/4-pie-shaped pieces,
only thinner than the original piece.

I find this to be the easiest way to get 1/8ths.

Thank you Karen It is rather difficult to cut into 1/8. Thanks for the dosage too I was wondering how often.
Waldo says thank you too!
