I am looking at my Rifaximin pills and they are film coated. Only just googling now, but I'm assuming these shouldn't be split?
Thoughts?
Maybe I should just split one for an allergy test at the very least, which is my biggest concern. However I guess if they are film coated, something about them gets degraded in the stomach?

In pharmaceutical drug delivery of solid oral dosage forms film coatings are frequently applied. The motivation for coating dosage forms range from cosmetic considerations (colour, gloss), improving the stability (light protection, moisture and gas barrier) and making it easier to swallow the tablet.
I'm actually thinking about doing another course of Rifaximin, to help speed up getting rid of dysbiosis.
