Yes and no. Some medications can be fully dissolved in water which would allow them to be split in half by splitting the solution. Some medications may not be water soluble or may be poorly soluble which would prevent them from fully dissolving making it very difficult to accurately separate it equally. Finally, some medications need to be in pill form to be effective (long acting, enteric coated, delayed release, etc) so crushing it up may reduce its efficacy or even be dangerous.
Call up your local pharmacy if you have questions regarding dissolving your pills.

Well, I tried one pill as an experiment in a water bottle and left it in water over night and shook it up. In the morning , you could still see the particles so it wasnt fully dissolved.
