Benzos Diazepam 10mg question

[Mighty-oak]

Question is this. A 10mg Diazepam tab weighs 0.0200g on my digital jewellery scales, so 5mg = 0.0100g so 1mg = 0.0020g......What interests me is the drug within the 10mg tablet, is it evenly distributed? 1mg from a 10mg tablet weighs in at 0.0020g or could it be slightly out due to the binders and fillers within the tablet?

Hope this makes sense

Should be pretty much evenly distributed, they press them out of "raw material" (if you will) and each pill is the same size, so to make each tab fall within specs the "raw material" used to press out those exact size tablets must be pretty much evenly distributed with the active drug, or the variances would be far to large to pass FDA standards....

Conjecture on my part but the logic is sound....
