Is Taking Broken Besavar Tablets Worrisome?

I m visiting family in the USA and am taking Besavar (time-released alfuzosin Hydrochloride) and just took a dose and found one layer of the tablet on the floor next to me...the dosage guidelines warn against breaking the tablets...should I be worried?

Hi,

A single broken tablet will not cause any harm to you so there is nothing to worry, but from next time please do not take such tablets.

Hope it helps. If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact us.

Regards,
Dr. Atishay Bukharia
