I've taken the mid.morning dose instead of the first thing dose. All was well. I think theres a bit of wiggle room as long as you dont do it habitually. X

That's what I've done previously just to get back on track. I imagine you could probably contact your closest hospital that has a transplant unit and ask their on-call provider.

It's probably safer just to take the correct doses at your next med time, get on track and continue as prescribed. It's not a good idea to double up on your meds.

I’ve done this twice over almost 5 years. . It’s very unnerving . When I told my team they were unconcerned. Since then I have an alarm that goes off 3 times reminding to take it over the course of 45 minutes .

Still have to be reminded ..

Contact your renal team. You do not want to overdose depending on the medication. Like all have shared, we all have been in your shoes and experienced the same anxiety.

As others have said - call your Transplant Team as soon as you can.

Usually they would tell you to skip today's. Morning dose and resume tonight with evening dose...But it depends on what medications you take...Best to call your team
