Re: Re; Using Local Compounding Pharmacists

[Guest guest]

Fritz,

Not all of us are able to get doctors to Rx LDN.

We're at the mercy of these off-shore chemists.

In re your idea about breaking off a little bit of

the tab to achieve a lower dose, that may or may

not work as the way tablets are made the active

ingredient is not distributed evenly through out

the entire pill. I was told by my pharmacist that

the active ingredient ends up being concentrated

in the center, which is why breaking along the

score line is acceptable.
