Just take it again when you would normally take it.

I was advised to take folic acid 4 days after Metho. This I have done for the past 14 years without any ill effects

I have also done this at times, take my folic acid daily apart from MTX day. If I do this I don't take it next day to allow the MTX to do its thing. It doesn't matter apparently reduces the efficacy of the MTX .
