Abstract
The invention disclosed provides a multi-fractionable tablet structure initially configurated in a unitary dosage while having readily severable sub-dosage units as components thereof. Score markings are positioned variously about the tablet both along the top and bottom surfaces of an approximately rectangular configuration whereas in preferred embodiments thereof, score markings additionally appear along opposite vertical side surfaces of the tablet. Special placement of the score markings readily permit at least either an accurate bisectional fracture or accurate trisectional fracture of the tablet as may be desired for patient consumption.
