My husband was prescribed Viagra by his doctor at my urging but now in the past month has only taken it twice and will only take half the dose prescribed, and he's a pharmacist. He just finished radiation treatment for prostate cancer 2 months ago and he's in his mid 50's. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm not a medical guy, but I was told, when I was cutting the dose in half, that the pill is supposed to get to the intestines, and if you cut it in half, it might not work so good.
