Can a pharmacist spend a lower dose than is on the prescription?

When a medicine with the active substance 100mg is prescribed on the prescription in a package of 24 tablets, can the pharmacist, at the request of the patient, sell a replacement for this drug in a package of 4 tablets with the active substance 50mg, that is, a total of 48 tablets of this drug?

What are drug substitutes?

Tak. Jeżeli na recepcie ma Pan lek w dawce 100 mg, 24 tabletki, to farmaceuta może wydać zamiennik tego leku w dawce dwa razy mniejszej, ale dwa razy więcej tabletek czyli 50 mg 48 tabletek. Najczęściej jednak tak się robi, jeżeli w hurtowniach dawka 100 mg jest niedostępna. Pacjent powinien wówczas być poinformowany o zmianie dawkowania- zamiast jednej tabletki, powinien zażywać dwie tabletki, żeby dawka leku była taka, jak przepisał lekarz (czyli 100 mg).
