Yeah, this sounds a little tedious, but wow---you could very precisely divide a 5mg pill into 1/8ths and save mucho dinero!!!!
"But if you've got to have 5 parts (or any number of parts for that
matter) and you're unable to split the pill satisfactorily, just crush a
tablet instead. They market pill crushers just like pill splitters. (See
your local pharmacy.) My pill splitter's a combination splitter/crusher.
All you need is some empty gelatin caps from any health food store, a
little filler material (I use corn starch, you could use something else), and a
little patience because it's kind of tedious.
You've got to divide up the pill, so dump out the crushed contents
onto a plate, make a row with a knife or razor blade. Divide that into 5
little piles, scoop them into your 5 empty caps, top them off with the
filler and like magic you've got five 1 mg capsules. It'll probably take
you 5 or 10 minutes, but that will do the trick. Then put them in
a small bottle in the refigerator. By the way, just as with splitting
Proscar, you get faster at the crushing method with practice."
