I have gotten the 4mg tabs and they are scored and easy to split in half to 2mg tabs.

Ironically they are not scored in the US. I suspect it’s because, even as a generic, they know the higher price (and profit margins) would tempt 2mg users to split 4mg.

I have noticed in the USA a lot of certain medicines seem to literally be designed to make the medication difficult to cut in half evenly. With odd shapes and such or the pill is pressed in such a way that it is difficult to do without the pill crumbling. Complete bullshit.

Even have seen them especially with some expensive brand names they say the pills are coated, and shouldn't be cut in half. Only to look at the foreign version of the same pill from the same manufacturer that says it is just fine to cut in half if you do it correctly. I do know some pills you can't cut in half due to certain time release factors, but this wasn't one of them.

My understanding was lack of score line meant there was some pharmacological reason a pill couldn’t be split. But Zydus Pitavastatin from India can, while the tablets they sell in the US (also made in India) can’t.

So much for “pharmacological reason”.

This is the craziest thing I've ever heard. Millions of packs a day, people excited about a new phone, new clothes, new iPad, new whatever. The postal inspector getting notified on his phone? Honestly that's absurd.

Stop spreading the paranoid idiocy that tracking repeatedly on USPS brings law enforcement attention to a package. This is how ignorance fills in what it doesn’t have an explanation for.

USPS handles BILLIONS of packages a year, and only those receiving illegal goods are excited enough to repeatedly check tracking, so it’s brought to law enforcement’s attention?

You think the hundreds of thousands of kids waiting for their Pokémon cards, or the nerds waiting for their collector’s edition videogame, the guy waiting for a much needed car part isn’t obsessively checking tracking too?

It’s idiotic. Stop spreading this bullshit until you have a single crumb of evidence, which you’ll NEVER find because it’s completely illogical and not how things work.

They have plenty of ways of identifying suspicious packages and patterns. Far more sophisticated than you can imagine. If you’re targeted, they’ll get you. But that’s not what happens with packs of pharma from India.

Otherwise, when the Feds in customs literally have the evidence, and your address in their hands, they’d be showing up at your door, not sending a letter telling you not to do it again.

I never said it was a fact or I had proof of anything. I merely said that for me personally it's an irrational subconscious thought. I agree with both of you that the sheer number of packages going through USPS would make it impractical for a a postal inspector to get a notification for every package going through.

What I read was someone that claimed to work in LE and said he has seen packs that were already flagged from a known shipping address/areas that he would get notifications every time they were tracked. Is that plausible ? Sure sounds somewhat legit. Imagine this a lot of MDMA is produced in the Netherlands and Belgium. Is it so far far fetched that packs from them have an alert on them and if someone is tracking them 5+ times a day a text notification is sent to a regional postal inspector for the destination address.

Just watch the show "To Catch a Smuggler". They have multiple episodes where they catch a pack that has illicit drugs like cocaine/MDMA/meth in them and they track the delivery in real time every step of they way including when the recipient tracks it for a controlled delivery.

Again I have stated that it's just my personal choice to not use USPS and that I have no hard evidence or proof that tracking on the USPS website does anything to flag it. I have informed delivery that shows all tracking numbers and when they will be delivered that's enough for me. anything to flag it.
