How much of his was patient decided underdosing versus a doctor prescribing half a pill twice per day? Drugs are often charged per dose, thus one 5mg pill costs almost the same as a 10mg pill. Split the 10mg pill for two doses and the price drops by almost half.
“doctor prescribing half a pill twice per day? Drugs are often charged per dose, thus one 5mg pill costs almost the same as a 10mg pill. Split the 10mg pill for two doses and the price drops by almost half.”
I do that with 3 rx drugs. Two of the tablets are scored and break easily to about 1/2 tab.
One tab is very small and is not scored., the free pharmacy tablet splitter, basically destroys the little tablet. My wife had me grow my right thumb nail longer, and it works great to split the tablet. She learned that trick from a patient in the Family Practice office, where she worked.
