In order to get a ready made 2.5mg of oxycodone instead of nursing have to split, our pharmacy splits the 5mg tab and then unit-doses that as "Oxycodone 2.5mg." We are looking for feed back as to what the unit dose label should say. the names that we are between is just "Oxycodone 2.5mg Tablet" or
"Oxycodone 2.5mg (1/2 of a 5mg tablet)"
What is clearer?
What do you do in your facility to label split tabs?
Thank you
