Worried Im taking slightly different dose each day

My Nurse wanted me to cut my losartan tablets in half but its hard to cut them evenly so Im worried im getting a different dose each day would that matter if its slightly less slightly more? I asked for a lower dose but they dont have a lower dose for what i need

It’s not ideal to have to cut a pill in half, but if there isnt a lower dose available any other way, it sounds like this is your only option.

If the pill is scored and if you use a pill cutter, you should be able to cut it in half pretty accurately.

It isnt scored and its egg shaped which makes it even more annoying. Im just worried that getting a slightly different dose each day will mess with me.

I think it should be ok, you might be getting different dosages on different days, but it will average out in your bloodstream. That’s according to something I read from a book.
