BigK, Do you know the answer to this one? It has been talked about a bit on yahoo, I think that you said you do not look at or post on yahoo. It has been reported in the media that men dividing higher dose viagra pills might not get a dose of sildenafil equal to the size of the bit of the pill (as a proportion of total pill size) x the mg of sildenafil in the pill. I had assumed that pills are formed from a homogeneous mixture, whether or not they have a score mark. However someone on yahoo made me understand that after the drug mixture is added to the mould(?) a filler might be added. And I assume this means that if the filler and drug mixture do not mix completely, the sildenafil might indeed not be distributed evenly in the pill. My own DD has, frustratingly, failed to provide me with any clarification on this. Do you know about this for sure from your own DD? Is sildenafil essentially distributed evenly within a viagra pill?
