You can "dissolve" levodopa/carbidopa pills in ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and draw off whatever fraction you want. This is also a way of getting a faster action. (Note, splitting is OK for immediate release, but not for extended release preparations).
While keeping the total daily dose constant, you can lower the dose, but increase the frequency. This has the added advantage of reducing the variation of drug levels. John
