I would advise not to break the tablet. As sustained release tablets are meant to slowly dissolve in you gastrointestinal tract. Breaking it will decrease the time duration of it's effect
Next Steps
You can ask your doctor where you can find 10 mg tablet nearby
Health Tips
always use sustained release tablets in whole

Please ask your Doctor who prescribed this medicine. I understand that in the case of many people on this forum, their Doctors go on a long leave (out of India) immediately after prescribing such medicines and they don't carry their mobile phones with them.
