But it's a lot more fun.

Prescription for costly health care / Program by some insurers to encourage patients to cut pills in half has critics -- especially drug firms that would lose money: "Fresno emergency physician Charles Phillips, the doctor involved in the Kaiser lawsuit, says pill splitting is never safe. He said a 15-year-old study showed a 20 percent variance in weight of split tablets. While studies have not shown patient harm, no study has confirmed the practice is safe, he said."

Know what would be even more fun? Get the drug companies to make some really, really, really big pills and then we could cut them into four pieces instead of just two!
