well technically yes you can take two 40mg pills instead of one 80mg pill but that just means you'll run out of medication faster. i suggest you consult your pharmacist to find out exactly what the cost difference is between the 40mg pills and the 80mg pills. you may find there's very little price difference at all. also i suggest you discuss the cost factor with your doctor. there may be an alternative medication he or she can prescribe that is less expensive. health care providers tend to be very sensitive to cost issues on the part of their patients so don't hesitate to bring this up with your doctor. wishing you all the best.
