I forgot to take my Pregabalin (50mg) last night and was wary about taking in morning. In case it happens again does anyone know if it would be ok to do this ? Thanks

Hi,

Best to take it when its next due to be taken. Do not double up just take your next dose at your normal time.

Kind regards

Set a alarm to remind yourself when to take your meds it really helps as I kept forgetting to take mine and it really helps.

As it states on the patient information leaflet, if you miss a dose, don't take it

later, just take your next normal dose at the prescribed time.

It helps me by sorting my medication into 4 pill boxes each morning for that day. If I’m going out somewhere, I can take the pill boxes with me.
