If im taking a 25mg pill

And i cut it in half am i taking 12.5mg?

Yes, if it is a pill that can be cut. Some meds, like Latuda, shouldn’t be cut cuz it affects absorption.

Are you sure? Its a blood pressure med losartan… my nurse told me to cut it in half

The internet disagrees with me and says it’s safe to do so.

Some pills are ok to cut even if they don’t have a dividerline, like for instance zyprexa. Hospital or official healthservice resources sometimes provide a list that clarifies how different medications can be taken. If your nurse told you so it should be ok. Half a pill should be more or less 12.5mg.
