I usually take my pill at 11 pm and I remembered this morning that I forgot to take it. I took the one I was supposed to take last night (the fifth pill) this morning at 7 am (8 hrs late). I was wondering if I should have today's pill at 11pm as usual or change my times completely? ## Hello, Hannak! How are you? You can just continue taking them at your regular time. Taking one late isn't the same as missing a pill and you should still be protected from pregnancy, but you may want to find some type of reminder to use to make sure you don't repeat the error. You should check with your doctor to be certain, but this is the usual procedure. Is there anything else I can help with?

i have been prescribed with fluconazole 150 for my yeast infection for 6 consecutive nights. yesterday night was suppossed to be the last one, but i forgot to take it! what should i do? ## What did you end up doing? You should have taken it as soon as you remembered. This isn't really as touchy as an antibiotic, since it's an antifungal, so the spacing of the dosages doesn't have to be exact . Has the infection been clearing up, yet? Any time that you have a question like this, please don't be afraid to ask your doctor or pharmacist, they will be happy to help you.

Started my period on 11/2 and took the pill 11/3. Took it for a few days and then forgot for three days. Took 1 pill (all I had left) and then didn't take it for one day, now have my new prescription. Do I have to wait until I start my period again next month or can I begin a new pack today and just miss my period next month? ## The tablets you take the week of your period have no active ingredients, so missing them doesn't matter. As to the new pack, since you did miss at least one day of active tablets, you can start it at any time, unless your doctor instructs you not to, but you'll need to make sure to use back up protection against pregnancy for the first 7 days. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Hi i forgot to take daphne pills last june 16 then we had a co...

Forgot to put my patch on before work. It will be 12 hours til I can put it on. What can I expect? ## Hello, Bonnie! How are you? That's not too long of a time period, so things shouldn't get too bad, unless you are very sensitive to medications. You may experience some minor withdrawal effects, such as nausea and headache, according to the NIH. In the future, to avoid any issues, it might be a good idea to use some sort of reminder system to make sure you put it on, such as a phone app. My husband and I use one for our medications, all the time. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi, I was recently diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and 3 meds were added to what I already take (I also have MS). I started using a weekly med organizer to mainly keep track of steroid tapering. I forgot to put my Ramipril and didn't realize until I began sweating profusely and headache. I think it was 3 missed days. I have been on this medication for approx 4 years. I take 5mg daily. I am 54 yr old female. Are these symptoms being caused by missed doses or is it something else? ## It is hard to say, it may be due to missing the medication, but it could also be due to some other cause. Have you started taking it, again? If so, has there been any change? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, increased urination, and hypotension. Taking a st...

And can I take propranolol on an empty stomach? The reason I've not asked my doc these is that I never got a chance to, with all the panicing and now I can't contact one till tomorrow due to having no minutes. ## Hello, Chanika! How are you? It can be taken with or without food, so unless your doctor says otherwise, gauge it for yourself, if it makes you nauseous on an empty stomach, then it would be best to take it with food. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have forgot to collect my prescription from doctor and its now closed ll weekend and have just been on lower dose for 4 weeks, how will this effected me or how can i get some to tide me over. ## Hi Donna, Depending on how long you've been taking this medication and how much of it you've been taking, there is a risk for withdrawal symptoms. If you forget to take a dose, it's generally recommended that you take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. (Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one). As far as withdrawal symptoms go, the precautionary guidelines for this medication state the following: "If you suddenly stop taking citalopram, you may...

I started Krimson-R35 on the 6th day of getting my periods. Yesterday I forgot to take a pill. Is it ok for me to continue my normal dosing regimen or not? ## If you missed a pill during your period week, there is nothing to worry, you can just continue your regular dosing regimen, unless your doctor has instructed otherwise. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, spotting, and irritability.

Hi. I started taking daphne pills on july 15 but last aug 25 I forgot to take 1. I already stopped using it. I had my last menstruation last july 23 and until now I haven't had it yet. Can I still continue using daphne pills? ## Hello, Vexyle! How are you? If you haven't had a period yet, you need to be checked for pregnancy, before you start taking them again. Have you consulted your doctor? If you're not pregnant, there shouldn't be a problem with your starting them, again. But pregnancy does need to be ruled out, first. ## BAKIT PO NAG REREGLA PARIN AKO FEB 2 UNTIL NOW TAPOS MALIIT LNG NORMAL PO BA ITO?? ## Gud pm po nakalimotan ko po uminun kagabi isang tablet ngayon uminum ako OK lang po ba??? ## Taking Daphne pills, Simula po ng umiinum ako ng pills do pa ako dinad...

Left my paxil at home and I'm on trip. Can I take my wives prozac for a few days or just skip my antidepressant altogether? ## Hello, Chrissy! How are you? It would be best to check with your doctor, because the doses differ from one to the other, even though they are in the same class of medications. If you skip it for the duration of your trip, you may experience withdrawal effects, that may include nausea, diarrhea, rebound depression and anxiety. What dosages do you each take?

I forgot if I took my blood pressure medicine this morning. I take 20 mg of enalapril maleate in the morning every day. If I don't take it today will it hurt me or if I take a double dose will it hurt me? ## Hello, Linda! How are you? What did you decide to do? For future reference, unless your doctor specifies otherwise, it is generally more risky to skip a dose, since that creates the risk of your developing rebound high blood pressure and elevated heart rate, which could reach dangerous levels that create the risk of heart attack, or stroke, according to the NIH. Taking a double dose just once is usually not as dangerous, since it will generally only results in your experiencing more side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and lower blood pressure....

what happens if i forgot a day of the treatment? ## Hi graciela, Is Luivac some sort of probiotic supplement? There's really not a lot of information about it online. From what I was able to gather, it contains the following active ingredients: Haemophilus Influenzae Klebsiella Pneumoniae Moraxella Catarrhalis Staphylococcus Aureus Lysate Streptococcus Mitis Streptococcus Pneumoniae Streptococcus Pyogenes (3 mg) If this is so, then it's fine if you miss a dose of probiotics and start back up again the following day. Meanwhile, eating plenty of fruits and veggies will help you maintain a healthy level of good bacteria. NOTE -The "general guidelines" for missing a dose of any medication is: Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for ...

I take metoprolol tart 50mg 1 1/2 tabs daily and I also take Losartan/HCTZ 100-25mg 1 tab daily. I forgot to take my Losartan after lunch and now it is almost suppertime, when can I take the Losartan? ## You should take it as soon as you remember, unless it's into the next day and time for the next dose, then you should skip the missed one, unless your doctor instructs otherwise. Losartan is an ARB that is most commonly used to help treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, increased urination and hypotension. If you have a smart phone, there are many free apps available that will sound an alert, when you need to take your medication, so that can help you avoid missed doses in the f...

Left ear infection. Instilled 3 drops Neomycin and Polymyxin 8 Sulfates and Hydrocortisone Otic in suspension tonight. I forgot to shake it. Can that hurt my ear? ## Not really, it just means that you may not have gotten the right amount of the active ingredients in those drops. Thus, from now on, you do need to be careful to make sure to shake it, as instructed. Doing that too many times could cause the infection to not be properly eradicated. You should, however, double check this information with your doctor or pharmacist. Is there anything else I can help with?
