Probably same: It depends if the medication is scored or otherwise approved to be split. If so, then a 1/2 of a 5mg tablet would be equivalent dosage as a whole 2.5mg tablet.

Same: Half of a 5mg or a 2.5mg zebeta (bisoprolol) will have the same amount of medication. It is a tablet and should not have an issues with breaking in half.
