The 37.5 comes in if someone is taking 75mg of Effexor and that dose consists of two 37.5 pills.

If that person wants to reduce the 75mg by 10%, s/he would take one 37.5 pill and cut the second 37.5 pill into fourths and take three of the fourths. Total dose would be 65.63--fairly close to 10% of 75mg (67.5).
