What is the result if you take 1/2 of a 12 hour extended release tablet?
Do you get only 6 hours of relief at the full dose? Or do you get 12 hours of relief at 1/2 the dosage?
1/2 dose would work for me; I am hyper-reactive to most medications.

you may not get any relief taking half a dose. depends on the medicine. but it would be more inline with your statement of 12 hours at 1/2 dosage. cutting a pill in half does not cut the time in half. it doesn't work like that.

You'd do better asking the druggist for something that either can be cut without losing potency or something with a smaller dosage. The extended relief comes from the various little balls of medicine which are mixed up, some kicking in sooner and some later. There is no way to be sure you are dividing it up so you get a half dose with something that kicks in right away and something that kicks in later on. I had a friend who was like you for nearly every medication and she had a really tough time convincing doctors of it. Be sure to carry a card listing all your allergies and medications and this information--especially things that do set you off--in case you are in an accident. Make sure that your doctor and dentist have it in their files, too. I don't have your problem but I have a couple of allergies and hand the doctor and the emergency room the card when I've gone in. If you wonder about a specific medication you are thinking about dividing up, your pharmacist or one at any drug store you can reach should be able to tell you yes or no.

depends on what you are taking the medication for the people I know with allergies nothing. for others with indigestion a partial solution. the dosage is time release and still utilizes the full time span (supposedly) therefore you would be getting half and could expect only half the results. the other option would be to try and find out if you don't really need the full dose (without side effects hopefully0

My heart goes out to you as I live with someone who has unremitting pain. The purpose of extended release tablets is for pain management, that is maintaining the pain at a bearable level. My husband takes slow release Morphine and has short acting morphine tablets for break-through pain. Oxycontin did not work for him. I don't think you will be more tolerant to injected meds but perhaps you don't like needles. Whatever you do, work with your doctor for relief right now: the future is another step to be taken later. Have you been involved with a pain management clinic or specialist? Best of luck
- - I think it would depend on the type of Medication - and a persons Specific - Metabolic Rate -
- other wise my simple answer would be youd be lucky to get any relief at all and if you did it would only be partial and only las for a Maximum of 4 hours -

Sorry hon, it depends on what type of medication, if it is scripted or just an over the shelf med. Then really it also depends on body size, and metabolize of that person then also if you use that med repeatedly.
