Is it OK to take half a birth control pill?

the birth control im taking is called yasmin.. i took a pill yesterday night but it made me so sick this morning.. i threw up 5 times.. my mom thinks i should take half a pill for a week so my body can get used to the hormones.. will taking half a pill left with the nausea? and is it safe?Is it OK to take half a birth control pill?
By taking 1/2 of the pill, it will help your body get adjusted to the medicine. However, it will not keep you protected since you are only taking half the dose. Normally, after 2 weeks on the pill taking a whole tablet you would be protected. To be on the safe side, I would call the pharmacy and make sure this is ok. Also, some tablets after they are broken, you need to throw the unused portion away. Just double check.
