E-drug: Tablet-splitting with FDCs, esp. antiretrovirals (cont'd)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know anything about drug distribution in the combinations,
except that it probably wouldn't matter if the patient got the other
half of the tablet next time. I did notice that Triomune (lamivudine,
stavudine, nevirapine -Cipla) appears to be two tablets stuck
together.
I guess the manufacturers should be asked.
