I have been prescribed medikinet cr 10mg which is now missing in almost all of Poland. Can a pharmacist sell me 2 packs of cr 5mg medikinet instead of one 10mg as part of my prescription so as not to stop the treatment?

There are no contraindications to dispense 2 packs of Medikinet CR 5 mg instead of 1 pack of Medikinet CR 10 mg. In this case, instead of 1 tablet of the drug at a dose of 10 mg, 2 tablets of the drug at a dose of 5 mg.
