[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've split pills with a cutter. I have this medication, powder in a capsule, for which a dose 4x as strong is only 1.5x as expensive. I see you can buy gelatin capsules on Amazon. Seems I should just ask the doctor for the 4x prescription and repackage it at home into smaller doses. All I have to do is eyeball it into 4 portions. Right? [/quote] Get a ceramic mortar and pestle. Get a small scale if you want to weigh them properly. If you are going to eyeball it, then mix all the pills together in the mortar with a glass stir rod thoroughly, before repacking them in the capsules. Wash well before starting any of this and sanitize the mortar and other instruments prior to starting. It's not rocket science. [/quote]
