Tablet type:
Tadalafil may contain film-coated tablets. This type of tablet may be divided in half, which may change the effectiveness of the drug, because the coating may control the absorption of the drug. The presence or absence of a coating is often indicated on the medication package or in the instructions.
Dosage adjustment purposes:
You should avoid changing the dosage of a drug on your own without your doctor’s instruction.If you wish to adjust the effect, it is important to consult your physician first.Tadalafil is a long duration drug per dose and requires correct dosage management.
Instructions from a physician or pharmacist:
In most cases, it is not recommended to split a medication without checking with your doctor or pharmacist. In some cases, cracking a tablet will not change its effect, but with certain drugs, cracking may cause over-absorption or decrease the effectiveness of the drug.
Equipment to split half the pieces
Cutting with scissors or a knife is a painstaking process. It is better to purchase a special machine for this purpose. Equipment to split half the pieces
