I am taking viramune (nevirapine) time release pill daily and it doesn't dissolve. it goes right through my body. i am breaking it in two . is that recommended?

Not a good idea: It is generally not a good idea to break or crush extended release medication since it alters its absorption profile. You should ask your doctor about this and consider switching to the non-extended release version of viramune (nevirapine).
