Yes, I understand Crestor is effective at 5mg or even 1 mg. That's why I would like to determine the physical size of the pills in the different dosages to see how far one can split. :) Signature Remove -NOSPAM- to contact me.

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. Signature Remove -NOSPAM- to contact me.
