RW, copy that. Remember the days of the old "Diamond Cutter?" We thought they'd never end. Went from walking around with a "Deadly Weapon," to a "DEAD WEAPON."

God certainly has a sense of humor.

There are many drugs that are NOT on the formulary because the VA has classified them as non-formulary (Non-formulary drugs means the drugs that are not included in the list of preferred medications that a committee of pharmacists and doctors deems to be the safest, most effective and most economical. They are drugs not included in the drug list approved by the health care plans.) but they are available IF the doctor request and gives the "reason" and if the pharmacy agrees then that's it.  However if the pharmacy does deny you can appeal.  That being said not ALL VA Pharmacy's carry ALL non-formulary drugs so it'll be up to your doc, availability and the pharmacy.

I use a pill splitter on a cpl of my meds, never had a real problem, even with the V. I buy a new splitter every couple months, pretty cheap. Must be pretty accurate on the V, never had to go to the Emergency Room with a 4+ hr erection problem.

I am so far gone that a full pill does not do the job let alone 4 hours.  Those days are long gone.

Switched back to Viagra as their VA ED RX formulary back in 13 or 14.  If one gives use a problem, Secure Msg your VA PCP, they'd let you take a run at the Cialis.

You never got more than, as I recall (2) large Pills that needed to be split. PCP could refer you to the VMC Urologist to address trying the Vac Pump or Suppository you use for the private Insertion that worked but seems to lite you and your friend/wife on a bit of a burn sensation.

Remember, if it last past the 2/4 hrs, you THE MAN! The VA has decided that you only need to get your ashes hauled 4 times per month.

They won't prescribe Cialis if your on certain med's  med's for swollen prostate & Certain MH Meds (ptsd/depression)

As Gastone mention the pills can be cut in half  usually at the 100 mg the pump never work for me , but the injections do  but it takes the mood away, b/c you have to the injections 30/20 min before happy hour.

The last straw is the injections

 There are 4 MCG 's of the Alprostadil    injections  starting at 10 mcg   20 mg 30 mcg and 40 mcg...they start you off with the 10 then work up from there....

and you have to take a penis injection class...With a Female Dr and Male Dr to show how to inject your self..it was he craziest thing I ever saw..about 12 of us were going up and down the hall looking  for rest rooms they had us inject our self    and no the young female Dr didn't come in  she assisted the male Dr  in the class room...LOL

As Gastone mention  this is only good  4 times a month.
