We cut and pre-pack them ourselves in the pharmacy. I agree that UDL should look into this.

We were storing the 25mg tabs in pyxis and the nurses would cut them on their own to make the 12.5mg dose. Then we realized half the time a 25mg dose was given and not the 12.5mg we decided to start cutting them in the pharmacy and packaging them before being dispensed. We packaged around 400 to 600 a week. It is very time consuming! It would be great to see a company pick this dose size up!!

We split and pre-pack them ourselves. It would be great if it was available unit dose.
