Somac dosage

[warrain]

I have been prescribed Somac dosage of 40mg daily. I read that it is more efficacious to take 20mg twice a day. Anyone have an opinion on that?  Also, is there any problem with splitting a 40mg tab in half and taking the half morning and night?  Many thanks.

Hi I've been on somac for quite a whie now. No Don't go splitting a 40 mg tablet the outer coating will be damaged rendering the drug useless.

weather 20 mg day and night is good for you is probabley up to tril and error give it a go rembering it will msot litley cost you mroe as you're technicley providing doubble the durgs for all your getting the same dosage.


Hope this helps Daivd.

I have since found out it is not a good idea to split a Somac tablet. I'm still interested to hear from anyone who has an opinion about whether a 20mg tab twice a day is any better than a 40mg once a day.
