It is not recommended to cut hydralazine tablets in half unless specifically instructed by a healthcare professional or the medication's prescribing information.

Consult your doctor orpsychiatrist to get the best counseling and feedback.If your daily dosage is 5 mg you might beadvisedto use 2,5 mg stesolid or 2mg Valium, these can be divided to 1,25 Stesolid or 1 mg Valium.I would strongly advice taking the 2,5 mg and slowly reduce.Even though its a very small dosage, and therefore wont take that long time to quit, it is still a demanding challenge.Good luck. It's a respectful choice to quit Valium!
Valium 10 mg tablets are round and yellow and have a small cut-out area the shape of a heart. Some generics are different colors and all generics do not have the cut-out.Having been prescribed all three mg tabs:White w/v-heart is 2mgYellow w/v-heart is 5mgBlue-green w/v-heart is 10mg... As are with mot generics as well. The drug is no longer copyrighted, therefore the active ingredient is the same.
YES .. you can cut it in half, but question should be, 'if I cut a 30 mg oxycodone in half, will each half have the same amount of oxycodone'. This is what I'm told to do with my 30 mg and I don't trust that each half is equal in dose. My VA doctor prescribes the 5 mg but the pharmacy changes it to 30 mg and tells me to cut them in half. Have complained, written letters, and it gets corrected 'once' and then back tot he 30's. They did supply a pill splitter but what a pain in the ass to cut these little pills. The 30's are the same size as the 5's. If the pill has a splitting line, then it is certified to be cut in half and there will be about half the does remaining in each half. If there is no splitting line, there you are correct to be uncertain about the distribution of the active ingredient within the pill. However, half of 30 is 15, not 5 so, more importantly, if you doctor is prescribing 5mg pills, and the pharmacist is filling with 30mg pills, then the pharmacist is guilty of malfeasance and needs to lose his or her license. It sounds like you need to contact your local Attorney General's office and/or the FDA. Also, get your doctor involved.

When a fruit is cut in half, roughly half.
For male pattern baldness, finasteride 1mg daily has been shown to be effective in most. Can get from India as FINCAR. (comes in 5mg tablets, and cut into quarters). This is exactly the same as the more expensive brands, and will do the same job. The 5mg tablets are used for prostate enlargement. Alternatively, can buy proscar which is not as cheap, but still comes in 5mg tablets, and still not as expensive as buying tablets in 1mg. Ignore propaganda from drug companies on internet about side effects of FINCAR. It is the same drug (finasteride), just cheaper due to different patent laws in India. Also a shampoo with ketoconazole can help. I think the brand is Nizoral. There is research that shows it is effective, but it isn't marketed for this (probably because it is not under patent, and they would easily be undercut by generic suppliers). The shampoo that is marketed I think (?) is minoxil (?), and is meant to be effective. Laser treatments, herbal treatments, etc, do NOT have any evidence. In summary, get FINCAR from India, cut tablets into quarters and take daily. Can also use shampoo with ketoconazole in it if you want. (this is cheapest and STILL effective). If you have patches of baldness, it may be due to your immune system and your doctor can inject some cortico-steroid which usually helps. (this is different to normally "male" baldness).
