Going from 40 to 80 MG

Postby warrior » Fri Nov 18, 2005 12:56 pm

My physician has said to me that I can go from 40 to 80 MG Pravachol and take it every other day instead of my current 40 MG daily. Is that safe? Or am I likely to overdose on the drug?

The drug costs the same whether one buys 40 or 80 MG. So I guess I could save by getting 80 MG and then splitting the pills but continue to take it daily. Please advise.
