I got a prescription for Proscar, but my Doctor only gave me 6 pills with a sig of "take 1/5 daily", for a total of 30 days' worth, with a refill of 5. That is a total of 6 months worth of finasteride. In any case, it's much much cheaper. At a pharmacy I trust (where I work), 6 pills is 20 bucks. So instead of $60/month, it's $20/month.

My question is, how do I cut this non-symmetrical thing?
I scanned in the front and back:


Also, I drew on one as a proposal. Is this the best way to cut it?


Thanks in advance!

yes that is the recognised way to divide this awkward little shape into five

many here simply chop it into 4 for convenience (giving 1.25mg)

or atomic division giving 8,000,000,000,000,000 doses.

this works out at less than 0.000002 cents a day.
