Claims14
A scored tablet comprising a convex upper face, an at least partially concave lower face and a side wall extending between the upper and lower faces and score grooves formed in the concave lower face,
- wherein said score grooves are perpendicular to one another and continuous with score slits located in the side wall,
- wherein one of the score grooves is continuous, thus extending as a single cut between two score slits of the continuous score groove, and the other score grooves are discontinuous and terminate at said continuous groove, and
- wherein each score slit has a V-shaped cross section, each score slit of the continuous score groove having a deeper extension within the scored tablet than the extension of the score slit of the discontinuous score groove so that the length of the continuous score groove is smaller than the length of the discontinuous score grooves to promote the first breaking of the tablet along the continuous score groove.
