If telma 80 h tablet is cut into 2 pieces, does its strength become half? Similarly with nebicard 5 mg? Or this should not be done and new tablets of half strength should be taken?

It's always better to take new tablets of half strength. Though if you break a tab it's of no issue for the above drugs. But for some drugs like enteric coated ppi etc doesn't work properly if you break.
