Is It Okay To Cut Cialis Pill Into Two To Reduce Dosage?
My 20mg prescribed Cialis is covered by a small amount of ins for ED or BHP. He prescribed 5 or 10mg when needed so I: cut the 20mg into. Is this okay? 5mgworks. Can I suggest to the doctor that 5mg works and I can self pay the pharmacy since the ins limited me to 5 tablets for one year? thanks

Hi,
The problem with cutting a tablet into two parts is that the drug is not necessarily distributed evenly throughout the tablet. Therefore, you may not be getting a predictable amount of drug when the tablet is divided in half.
