Does Finasteride lose ability to inhibit hair loss when it's cut into quarters all at once? Should I cut them daily as I use?

Asked By:Espmag99 in Vancouver, BC

Currently the pharmacist cuts 5mg tablets into quarters when I get them. Would it be better if I cut them myself when I take them? They can potentially be sitting in the sealed pill container for weeks at a time until I finish the prescription.
