Dosage Queston?!
Question:
Dosage Queston?
Ok, so lets say you have a bar of xanax (2 mg) and you cut that bar in half and take it, would that be the same as taking 1 mg of xanax? And if you cut it in 4 parts would it be the same as taking .5 mg of xanax?
Answers:
No not unless it's scored.
Xanax is an anti-anxiety tab made to specific doses there would be no need to say "Oh my anxiety isn't so bad today, I think I will drop my dose down to .5". Besides you're not the doctor.
The theory is there but with tablets there is no exact science on dosage unless the manufacturer scores the tab. Most pharmacist will say this, however, I know I prescribe prednisone and cut the tabs for patients (even though they're not scored) so the correct answer is no but since you can do simple drug math I would say in theory yes!
Good question though!
