Hello, can the concerta cut in two be dangerous? And is it normal to have muscle cramps?

Hello,

You should not cut Concerta. Once swallowed, the medication contained in the tablet is released gradually through the tip of the tablet. So if you cut the Concerta, you break this release system and expose yourself to a large amount of Concerta all at once, which greatly increases the risk of side effects

If you feel that your Concerta dose is too high, talk to your pharmacist. Your pharmacist can contact your doctor to suggest a lower dose.

Finally, muscle pain is not a common side effect of Concerta. However, it is reported in the product monograph. It is certain that not cutting the tablets will reduce your risk of adverse effects

I do not believe that this would be a danger to your health. However, if the cramps are indeed caused by the medication, a change in medication may be appropriate

Wishing you a good day,

Justin
