If I have a prescription for 100 milligrams once a day, but the pharmacy only offers 50 milligram tablets, can I ask my doctor to write it prescription for 2 x 50 mg instead of 1 x 100 mg?
Drugs are often not priced relative to their strength. That is, a 100 milligram tablet may not cost twice as much as a 50 milligram tablet. Therefore, in order for Advantage to save money, we require that persons order in the largest dosage unit possible for their therapy. If your doctor requires you to take 100 milligrams once a day, then you should obtain 100 milligram tablets. If your doctor requires you to take 50 milligrams twice a day, then 50 milligram tablets would be appropriate. We regret that we are unable to provide all strengths of drugs through Canada, but we encourage you to consider ordering through a domestic mail order firm.
