Is it possible to divide Ezehron duo 5mg tablets in half and take half the dose every day? The doctor decided to reduce the dose, but he told me to take this medicine every other day, and I read in several places that you should not take this type of medication every other day.

To @Marek: Usually grass therapy several years. It may be necessary to use the drug for the rest of your life. You should regularly consult a doctor who, based on the results of your tests, may decide, for example, to reduce the dose of the drug or discontinue it.
Is this drug necessary to take already all your life? Is it possible to discontinue this medicine after lowering?

Due to the shape of the tablet - white, capsule-shaped 8 mm x 4.5 mm without a groove to facilitate dividing, they are not suitable for dividing. Dividing tablets at home is a highly inaccurate and potentially dangerous method of drug administration. It carries the risk of changing the pharmacokinetic properties of the drug form, changing the therapeutic efficacy and changing the safety of the drug. The doses obtained in this way differ by up to 25% from the intended dose. Using Ezehron every other day is a common practice.
