If your next dose is tomorrow am, then if it was me I would take them now.

I would take them now, and take tomorrow morning's dose a couple of hours later. And set a reminder on your phone.

Refer to the instructions you get with the tablets. They will tell you whether to take it immediately or or leave it until the next one is due!

The reminders sound like a good idea, and so does taking them "now" and when in doubt if you have good pharmacist who is open contact him/her for advice. Otherwise just use your commonsense and take the missed dose asap and adjust later ones accordingly. I've noticed in hospital they aren't always completely on the ball with timings so l don't angst about it
