Your best expert to answer this question would probably be your local pharmacist. I'd give him or her a call about this question. Not all pills should be cut in half because they may have a coating that protects the stomach or other reasons. But, if Lamisil can be safely cut (check with your pharmacist to be sure), you can score it yourself with a sharp knife by using a light sawing motion. Even better, buy a pill cutter. They only cost a couple bucks, and they're well worth it.
