You missed a dose: what to do

There is no single rule: for some medicines you take the missed dose as soon as you remember, for others you skip it and carry on as scheduled. The answer is usually in the patient leaflet, in the section on missed doses.

Don't take a double dose to make up for it unless the leaflet or your doctor says so. If in doubt, call your doctor or ask a pharmacist. And if you miss doses often, talk to your doctor about making the schedule easier.
