Can Erlis 5mg be divided in half because that's what my doctor recommended and there is no graduation on the tablet and there is no gradation in the leaflet?

The point is that there is no drug in Poland with a lower dose, and in the leaflet it is written that the manufacturer does.
My main point is whether cutting this pill can affect its absorption or effect, or is it just an uneven dose?

Since there is no indication or scale for dividing the tablet in the leaflet, it is recommended to take the whole tablet. In practice, the lack of a graduation means that splitting the tablet is not officially recommended. Dividing such a tablet may result in uneven dosing, which will affect the effectiveness and safety of the treatment.
If the doctor has recommended dividing the tablet, it is worth consulting him again and confirming it again. A doctor has the right to tailor a medicine to the patient's needs based on his or her best knowledge and experience, but should be clear about this. We wrote more about it here:
