Is Cutting Of Hydralazine Tablet Into Half Advisable?
I AM A CAREGIVER FOR MY MOTHER WHO IS 77. SHE TAKES HYDRALAZINE FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE 3 TIMES A DAY (25 MG). SHE USES DAVITA RX BECAUSE SHE IS A DIALYSIS PAITENT. WHEN WE RECIEVED HER PRESCRIPTON THEY GAVE HER 50 MG PILLS INSTEAD OF 25 MG. CAN I CUT THESE IN HALF?

Hello,
Better not to cut the tablet as it might affect its potency. You can buy 25mg pills instead.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
