    no 40 mgs at the pharmacy!

    hi all

    im having a bit of a freak out - the pharmacist only had 20mg tablets and not 40 mg tablets which is what i usually take but he said it would be fine if i just took 2 20mgs instead. Now i know this is completely illogical but ive convinced myslef that it won't be the same!!

    am i being a plonker? is it alright to take 2 20's instead of 1 40?

    ohh dear!

    yep of course! exactly the same as with ibuprofren different strength tablets. you're taking 20 plus 20 and that builds up to 40. youre just freaking out as it is not in the form you are used to. dont worry

    Hi Anna,

    Its absolutely fine!! I take 2x15mg of my meds rather than 1x30mg. Its the same drug just in different strengths. You'll be fine!!!

    Take care.
