Default Splitting of Pills used for Erectile Dysfunction?

Does anyone have any experience will pill splitting the ED drugs, either personal or professional.

I know this is outside of the drugs labelled uses, but it is being done.

I know there are several Viagra splitters on the market. How well do they work, etc/

I have patients who are now using Levitra and Cialis that also want large pill sizes and then plan to split them. Anyone doing this and if so what are you using to split the pill, etc? What have the results been?

Thanks In Advance

As far as I am aware - Cialis & Viagra can both be halved -not personal experience but have heard this occurs frequently to get "more for your money". Definitely wouldn't recommend crushing the tablets though, as you will get a "dumping" of the drug into the body - possibly leading to increased side effects such as hypotension etc.

I've split 100 mg Viagra pills for many years. Using high mg pills is cheaper than low dose pills if you split them. I also find that I do not need a full dose, even of the 50 mg pills, to maintain an erection. Hence, I've purchased 100 mg pills and split them into roughly four similar sized pieces and still obtain full effectiveness.
The pill splitters I've seen do work after a fashion but are not as good as a sharp single-edged razor.

Here is a link to a very good pill splitter if you decide to go this route.

Save yourself the time and money,... my dad does it in a tenth of a second with a razor blade. Straddle the pill with your pointer and thumb, then fit the blade between, right on the midpoint, and give it one hard, QUICK motion down. It's quite simple and not messy

Default Viagra from internet

Hi there
I once used Viagra bought from the internet and everything was ok. There was no problem with it and I could save a little as in local pharmacies Viagra costs a lot more.
Cheers
