Yes thats what the pill looks like, so if i'm taking two of the same side of the pill A/C, so two A's will this be the same as taking the a|c together?

i think i've seen acouple A|O's tho whats up with that? and i only have A| left lol

Hey again lol yeah i live in Canada how did you know? and thanks for all the help gtrplayer, i was worried there for a second cause i would hate to be taking these pills wrong and starting over..they are really nasty and the side effects when you first start suck especially when you have co-op all day lol..but ya enough with that, thanks agian and if any one else that has more information on canadian pills like the people gtrplayer listed above be my guest to fill me in.

As a 40 year Nurse I must tell you that theoretically if a pill is scored it doesn't matter which side you take when.   However, the current recommendation is to take the halves in sequence so that in any 24hour period you are getting the whole original pill.  I agree with gtr that it is unlikely that you have caused any trouble because the meds are supposed to be evenly distributed within the tablet/pill.

Hey ShawnZ,

    This is just from my personal experience with Penicillin type antibiotics.  But, I know that they always left a metallic taste in my mouth after I took them, especially if they got "caught" halfway down my throat.  

    I'm not a nurse, or a doctor, so I don't really have the credentials to answer this.  But, if you're almost done with your 2 week dose of antibiotics, and this is the first "weird" thing you've experienced while taking your medicine, I doubt that it is a reaction to the medication.  

    If you are getting a sore throat, you very well may be getting a cold.  I don't know how the weather is in Canada (I always imagine it to be freezing up there for some reason), but I know right now where I'm at (Indiana), we've gone from 75 degrees a week ago, to 30 degrees right now, and it's playing all kinds of havoc on most of my family and friends' sinuses.  

    Thank you for the comment in the poll.  Isn't it strange how there are 133 guests online yet only 11 votes?  Take care my friend, and I'm interested in seeing what Mimilou may have to tell you.  But, since she is a nurse, I would definitely take her advice over mine.  Like I said, I read the medical books on free time during the day (I work midnights), so I very well could misinterpret a lot of what I read.

    Take care my friend.
