A member asked:
Is cutting 80mg valsartan tablet in half different than taking a 40mg tablet in terms of potency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Assuming the tablet can be cut evenly and cleanly, in terms of potency, the two halves should be equivalent. However, some tablets are coated or have special properties that are meant to be released over a certain period of time, cutting the pill may alter the release rate of the medication
