When five or seven medicaments and dietary supplements, verified to be compatible according to the detailed descriptions sheets from the manufacturers, are crushed and mixed, and the resulting powder is blended with, say, honey, is giving to the patient, is the patient getting each of the intended medicaments, or is he getting a new compund of unknown properties that may or may not resemble some of the properties of the individual medicaments?? I am very concerned about this issue. As you know, cement, sand, and water are three very different substances from concrete.

If you have any doubt please call your local pharmacy to ask about crushing pills or cuting them in half usually a pill that can be cut will be scored if in doubt check and also if many pills can be mixed a 10 milagram ambien can be cut in half but it may be stronger then a reg 5 mg. pill so be very careful.
