A patient should take all 4 tablets in half quantity. So in night patient will take 4 half tablets and in morning he will take remaining 4 half tablets. Only by this he can complete his course.

one tablet of fever and cold means half and half. Though the tablet is same. It doesnt matter. Because he takes tablet from the different bottle.

1. Crush all the tablets into powder.
2. Mix them thoroughly and divide into two parts.
3. Take one part of the powder in the morning. The second half is to be taken at night.

Divide all the 4 tablets int half and take one part of each tablet in the morning and other halves at night. It will ensure that one complete tablet both of fever and cold will be consumed as prescribed.

Cut all tablets into equal halves and take 4 halves in the morning and 4 halves in the night. This way you will get the intended dose.

Split each of the pills in two equal halves, and put the two halves in two different storage media, taking care not to mix them. Now take all the halves from one storage medium in the morning and those from the other medium in the evening. This will ensure the patient takes the correct dosage.
