Splitting a 20mg Pravachol tablet

When splitting a 20 mg Pravachol tablet, will the release of the medication work the same way as taking it whole?

My doctor wants me to add 10 mg to the 20 mg so as to take 30 mg a day. It would be less expensive to split the 20 mg tablet (Pravachol has no scoring) and add one half tablet a day to the 20 mg. Splitting the tablet might not give me the exact 10 mg, but would equal out in a two day period.
