Pharmacy spils them here and there is a seperate entry in the drug formulary for such meds(or we'll make note in dose instructions). We then package them in unitdose form using Medidose 3000 or some such program. I think nursing has enough to do than worry about splitting tabs, just my two cents.

Does nursing split them on the floor or does pharmacy split them prior to dispensing? If pharmacy splits the tablets, is there a drug dictionary entry for each size of tablet? Are the split tablets unit dosed?
