The Dr. has prescribed 50 mg of Losartan but I am one of those who do not like taking drugs of any kind. I told him I was willing to try at the lowest dose possible. Does it affect the drug if the pill is cut in half? I want to try that first if I can and see if it is enough to get me where I need to be.

If the pill has a line in it then you can cut it in half. If there is no line, you can't cut it because it's not mixed evenly for cutting and you won't be taking half of 50mg.
