Are focalin (dexmethylphenidate) xr capsules dividable into a lower dosage without losing the xr effect?

Not dividable : Focalin (dexmethylphenidate) xr capsules may be swallowed whole or capsule contents can be sprinkled on applesauce (children). Focalin (dexmethylphenidate) xr and/or their contents should not be crushed, chewed, or divided. Discuss a lower dosage with your prescribing doctor. Take care.
