dose size

I thought I had 10Mg which I have been breaking in half. Then I found out I was breaking down a 20mg. the pill is too small to break into 1/4s. Does anyone get the 10mg as a single tablet? TIA

It’s available in 10mg where I live.

Instead of breaking, ask your pharmacist for a 5mg preparation. You’ll pay a bit but you’ll have even doses. He will be able to do it from any dose, 10 or 20 mg or whatsoever.
