Splitting the Rapamycin pill

Can the generic 1mg Rapa pill be split for use on our cat? We have a 16 year old cat who we want to start on Rapa. But the 1mg is too much as he weighs 12 lbs. I’m wondering if splitting the pill allows it to survive the stomach acid. Thanks

Maybe you could split it and insert into an acid resistant capsule.

You could but then you probably would have to increase the dose to 2-3mg. I doubt the 1mg would cause serious problems for your cat though, many people here tried similar doses on themselves without much ill effects
