I never altered the neatly formed round pills. I think taking half at night will serve you nothing except disturbing your sleep, as the effects won't carry for the day after.
Servier has four slow release formulations namely: Diamicron MR, Natrilix SR, Vastarel MR, Trivastal Retard. Docs advice not to break any of the sustained release or long acting preparations.
