[quote user="David Mills"]I don't really see the issue with using 15mg whilst waiting for the 12.5mg to come back. We've not seen any issues with it. [/quote]

Yes, but we need half a phenoleptil, which would then mean 1/8th of a tablet. We have Soliphen 60mg which can be quartered easily but then need to be divisible again which is harder.

I have 12.5mg Phenoleptil. How many do you need?

It's coming back it's just swapping over from Animalcare to Dechra.

We have small amounts scattered across our branches, but my boss doesn't want us to start on it just for it to run out and need changing again. Looking for something more long term, thanks though Michael.

Good to know, thanks. The 60mgs we use aren't quarter-able, I didn't realise there was a brand that was.

We use 15mg Phenobarbital tablets made by a company called Bristol Labs (I think it is a human generic but I think you would have a reasonable cascade argument based on the above)

You wouldn't.

Epirepress are 60mg tablets that are scored to break into quarters.
