re:cutting medicine When I asked my Dad's doctor about "cutting out" some of his medications, he understood me to say "cutting" and explained that I should cut the pill in half and look at it. If it had a crystalline structure, it would be alright to cut the pill in half. If it seemed to contain small capsule-like shapes, that would be an indication that it was time-released and shouldn't be cut. Wasn't the answer I was looking for, but one I filed away for future reference... now are we all confused? joyce
