Because of the timed-release feature of lunesta, (eszopiclone) is its effectiveness compromised if a tablet is cut in half and taken?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lunesta (eszopiclone): The manufacturer does not recommend breaking the tablet in half. A broken tablet has a horrible metallic taste.
