Re: T3 dosing / dividing pills

I have better luck just snapping them into (roughly) 4 equal pieces with my

fingers than using a pill cutter, which seems to more crush them than cut them.

Yes, it's the 25mcg tablet. Mine are scored down the middle, I just try and

snap along that score line. (I need my reading glasses for this!) I usually

get two reasonably even halves (not perfect though). My pill splitter just

crushes them into crumbs.
