Yes, you should be able to split the tablets, but check with your pharmacist. Film coating are usually applied to tablets to protect the ingredients from moisture and in some cases oxygen. And please use a proper pill-cutter available from all good pharmacies (and most bad ones too). Not only are they more accurate than knives you won't have to count how many fingers you still have when you're finished.
