Hi Mafia149,

Welcome to our supportive community. However, I wonder if you have joined the appropriate forum if your medical condition if it is not related to mental health. If you have made a mistake, do search through Health Unlocked at more appropriate forums that suit your needs.

Could you possibly give more details about your medication? Have you read your Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) that should be in your medication box. This should tell you what to do if you miss a dose. Generally with medications, if you miss a dose, it is advised to wait till your next dose, and not double up the dose which risks overdosing. If you are in any doubt at all it might be best to speak to your pharmacist or GP who know your medical conditions and medications. Bear in mind that this is a peer support group and not a substitute for professional medical advice. Folks here are very willing to come alongside and support each other. But we cannot be responsible for any misleading or inaccurate information that is offered in good faith.

You can get medicine box that tells you the days of the week and medicine missing, is taken - so you know which one you =have taken because you have to fill in Mon - Sun

I take medications for the prostate, I was looking on Body Clock Tens Machines yesterday Evening and they have developed an electrical stimulator to help stimulate the Pelvic Floor. This prevents the need to pee given time I suppose it may work.

I take medications as well, not as bad as before although when I stand up or sit down to eat sometimes the need is quite demanding. However the drugs do help over an extended period so I would just take the tablet at a different time of the day I missed taking it. Then return to the original time of day, so you should be ok
