Can you double a medication the same way you can double a recipe? I’m running low on my 20 mg tadalafil. Can I take two of my 10 mg or 4 of my 5 mg? I asked the supplier online but AI doesn’t respond.
Medication doubling

I would think so, OP.

I asked Gemini about it and it just about begged me not to do it, going on about the precision of medical dosing and bioavailability.
So, I wouldn't do it. Never a good idea to fuck around with medication, OP.

With the "filler" ingredients that make the medicine into a tablet/pill/capsule, I would think you would risk delayed release of the active ingredients more than anything else. The more pills you take, the slower they will dissolve in your stomach. You might underdose, but I don't see how you could overdose providing you are sticking to a once-in-awhile drug like tadalafil.
I wouldn't try it without the doctor's ok with anything that is critical to your health, or with anything that's supposed to relieve pain.

Definitely. The total mg's are what's important.

I did it when there was a nefazodone (anti-depresant) shortage -- instead of 200mg 2x, I took 100mg 4x to no ill effects.
But if it were me, I'd just look it up on the interwebs instead of asking a bunch of strangers online who probably know nothing about your medication.
Just sayin'.

Yes OP.

It would never occur to me that it might be a problem. It’s like asking if you can lose weight by cutting your cookies in half.

You are technically not doubling your medication. That would be taking twice your prescribed amount.

You can take 2 pills of 10mg to replace one pill of 20mg, with no counter-indications, if you these conditions are true:
1) it is not a leap year
2) you are not Zoroastrian
3) you do not have an identical twin
3) you have an even number of testicles, so 0, 2, or 4
4) the pills have never been stored in leather.

You should be okay OP.

I've had pharmacists replace my regular dose with 1/2 doses when they were out of mine. I've also had the opposite, and had to break tablets in half.

Of course, OP.

No , you dumb cunt , it's does not just have the active med in there but other additives too. Your liver would be working overtime processing all those extra additives

Call your pharmacist and ask them.

Short-term, yes. Like taking two Ibuprofen 200mg to get to 400mg in one go.
Long-term, no; for reasons aforementioned.
