If they're the hard pills, you can just cut them in half or even quarters if they're big enough.

Should I schedule my press conference?

This is not always true. Some tablets are extended release and if you break them apart the timing is thrown off. You get a higher dose initially, and the dose doesn't last the intended period.

A family friend learned this the hard way when they were breaking a seizure preventive tablet in half to make it easier to swallow; they'd often have a recurrent seizure about an hour or two before their next dose time.
