two different doses of same medication, one prescription.

The optimal dose per day for me to take of Flecanide is one 150mg tablet in the morning and one 100mg tablet in the evening.  The 100mg tablets do not split cleanly so I need to take two different dosages each day.

The pharmacy says that will mean two prescriptions needed for the same medication.  I question this as it is the same medication, and the pharmacy does not have a clean solution to the needed dosage of 250mg per day.

I investigated on the internet and found that in the UK, it is counted as one prescription.

Does anyone know of this issue in the US?

I do realize I could take 3 50mg tablets in the am, and 2 50mg tablets in the pm.  This seems too be too many pills and too easy to get confused.

Thank you
