How to separate pill?

 Am asking you, a how to separate pill on the same parts? And very often in pharmacy are not having pills on right dosages, by doctor s prescribing, if remedy is increased on double, am  using two pills right away, but am separating on two times. If  pill is flat, is with not deep with separating line, thus she is separating on half. But if pill convex from both sides, and without separating line is harder. Am  using against insomnia on 25 mg for night Kventiax, at pharmacy just 100 mg pills and not flat, a bit  convex ,  these are not separating, not trying using and knife, pill is crumbling, and you must say no matter, that within month am getting right dose, but its not right, one night sleep good, other is bad. And at hospital, am saw ,how nurses tried to separate these convex pills.

Need to dissuade, if pill as  biconvex, and without a line, thus she is not intended for separating, so as covered with a special protection film, preventing stomach mucus against irritation, but situation are different, as not an always in pharmacy is having prescribed remedy as on right dosage, thus pills is needing separating, and to this with a few methods.

 As you can search about a special separators pills, these devices with a special sharp metallic guillotine inside, and in press easy on lid a pill separating on smooth two parts with smooth edges, if you could not found this device ,thus use other method for separating, which using for children's, as if you are decided violate protection membrane, thus a pill good to grind till powder. After powder put on sheet of paper with cell, and spread on cell on the needing parts quantities/2-3-4 and care separate with a rib of other sheet of paper, powder received wrap in papper s  packets and on every type a name for remedy and dosage, and powder not keep a long time, use by a method preparing, as in air touching and on the light an effecting substance of pill is destroying.

 Or next method for decreasing pill dosage. As powder received in grinding dilute in water, shake good and dosage with syringe.As for example you are having pill on 100 mg, and  you need on 25 mg, grind pill till powder, add 25 ml. of water, and you are receiving suspension cloudy is not worry.
