Maybe a silly question - Tatyana

I was just wondering on something and am hoping you can provide me with some insight.

I have a tablet cutter and am on letro at the moment. They are 2.5mgs and I cut them in to quarters and use them eod or every third day.

Rather than performing this boring task on one tablet at a time, I was wondering if I can do them all at once. If they are all done and then not stored in an airtight container/tub, would they ruin?

I mean if they are stored in a open bowl in a cupboard, is that ok or must it be an air tight container.

Thanks

Is there a coating on the tablets?

Sometimes they are designed to dissolve and dissociate at a particular place in the gut for the best absorption.

There could also be oxidisation of the drug, or the tablets may absorb more water, making it less effective.

Just how much effect this would have with letro??? How many days????

We must have a pharmacist on board who would know this specifically.

I've known many guys to just this without issue. If you do enough for just your cycle then your going to be fine even with the points Tat mentioned. I wouldn't be doing it and then storing them for several months though.
