Don't worry. The "do not break" is just there as standard meant for those prescribed it at 5mg per day.

I think the warning against breaking it is because the dust is dangerous to children and women (if pregnant).

The coating helps prevent exposure to the drug. This is important for pregnant women to not come into contact with finasteride as it can theoretically affect th development of a male fetus.
