Häufig gestellte Fragen
Can I round to half tablets?
Only if the product is scored. Enteric-coated, modified-release and some cytotoxic tablets must not be split.
Why round up totals at the pharmacy?
Always dispense whole packs — round the "total tablets" up to the nearest pack size to avoid partial-course dispensing errors.
