A member asked:
Is it ok to split lexapro (escitalopram) 10 mg in two and take it as a morning and an evenig dose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lexapro (escitalopram): Yes. Of course. But the pill lasts more than 24 hours once one is on the medication for awhile. The daily dosing is to keep the blood level steady once it achieves a therapeutic level.
