My doctor prescribed 60 MG tablets and told me to cut them in half if I need 90 mg. I din't think much about it, but after reading the information on MS Contin, I am worried that it may be dangerous to cut them in half. I've been doing it for about 5 days and have not noticed any problems with cutting them in half but I will call the pharmacy tomorrow and ask him.

I have done it for a while to cut down, and a pharmacist said I could. No problems. But my dr got furious when I told him, and I have read on Internet now not to. But the pills I take are solid white w a coating, not the granules; I wonder if this makes a difference. Nevertheless. , better to err on the side of caution, ESP w this serious a med.
