Pharmacy splits the tablets for Nursing. We enter a new drug entry with a doseform like "HALFTAB". The NDC is used of the original drug with an "H" on the end. This works well for us.

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?
