I can?t remember where ,  but wasn?t there  a post here essentially
stating that there  was no difference between Lipitor 10 MG and a
placebo?

Was of import to me but I lost the info anyway.   10 vs.  20  MG  seems
small to a guy that went from 80 to 40 and is shooting  for 20.  If  you
get my drift. I break 80 into 40.  Then again I?m at risk.

Drugs .....Yuk

I've been splitting 80 mg. Lipitor into 20 mgs for years.  Saves a lot of
money.

Crestor seems less expensive but I noted at least one webRx says "Crestor
cannot be split."

Is that true?  Why?

Ideally I would buy the 40mg and split to 10 mg or is that not physicaly
possible?  How large are the 20 mg and 40 mg tablets?

Thank you.
