question about pills
okay so lets say youre on a medication for acne. it's called sotret. (thats not important)
and it says that you have to take "a 30mg pill twice daily" and your doctor told you the amount you have to take is 60mg per day, as it varies from patient to patient due to different height/weight..the package itself contains 30 mg pills.
okay so you're taking 60 mg per day...does it matter if you take 60 RIGHT away as in...2 30mg pills with water? ..or if you take 30 at daytime..and 30 at night, lets say? i never got to ask my doctor this..but i was hoping someone could answer it...or a wesbsite..anything would be fine. because im worried the medication might not be as effective..or even more dangerous. i've been taking it for 1 3/4 months...and i have to take it for 5 in all.
thank you so much in advance :)

Actually they have you spread out the doses like that so the levels remain more stable in your system.
You should follow the directions they give, but talk to your doctor [or the pharamacist] if spreading the doses out like that is a problem for you.

Since the pharmacist knows what they are doing when making out prescriptions, you want to follow those directions.
There is surely good reason that it's for 30mg twice a day, rather than 60 mg once a day.
