Hi Mads

I'd say it depends on the number of days missed, perhaps start on half the dose then increase it after a few days if you feel ok. Or, you could ring NHS direct or with it being the weekend try the orthopaedic ward at your local hospital for advice.

Whatever you do good luck hope all's well.
