Breaking Sinemet CR

It is my understanding that the coating on the Sinemet CR pill retards
absorption of the medicine giving it its constant release properties.  If
you break the pill, the pill is not entirely covered by this coating causing
faster intake of the medicine into the blood stream.

When I received Sinemet CR, the bottle had one of the pharmacy warning labels
saying not to break the pill.  I also do not remember it being ribbed for
breaking.  However the Sinemet (not Sinemet CR) was ribbed and had no such
warning.
