I just did it and there appears none!. But you should do it yourself, also you can check them against other things, including foods and beverages!.
I don't really like having to cut pills myself!. You could probably also check on the web if a pill half the strength you were prescribed might be available in a dose your doc prescribed for daily use!. Or just call him direct!. You shouldn't have to be scared trying to follow doctor's orders!. good luck 2 uWww@Answer-Health@Com

This medicine is a powerful weight loss drug which can cause cardiac side effects (some serious)!.
Honestly, few young people will have serious reactions!.
My biggest compliant about the medicine!?
I have never (not even ONCE) had a patient lose weight using this and keep the weight off!.
The FDA limits you to 5 or 6 weeks MAX on the medicine!.
You WILL lose weight!.
But as soon as the medicine is gone - the weight WILL return (and a few extra pounds as well)!.
It is very frustrating!.
And 100% of my patients who demand this medicine say, "I just need some motivation to get my weight loss started!."
Great idea!.!.!.it has just never worked!.
You can get a pill splitter for just a few dollars at any drug store!.!.!.ask the pharmacist (usually they are near the pharmacy)!.
And yes, it is OK to take ibuprofen with this medicine!.
Good luck!.

U can buya pill cutter at walmart in the section that sells all the ibuprofen and what not!. Or at a pharmacy store like CVS or u can just use a little knife and slice it!. Easier than it looks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
