I usually take my pred when I realise I have missed my dose and then carry on as usual after that.

When did you miss the pill? Is that 2 days you didn't take it?
Just 24 hrs.
I would take a missed dose when I realised but if the 24 hours are up or almost up - don't double it, just go back to normal.
For pred it is easy for me, it is a before bed medication together with other stuff, but the doses that I need at other times I have alarms set on my phone and the day's tablets are set out in a 24 hour 4 compartment dosette box. I still occasionally switch the alarm off and forget the tablet but it is rare. There are dosette boxes with built-in alarms.
Everyone has done it at some point - and some swear they won't ever do it again because they felt so awful. But they do ...
I have a dossette box (thank goodness!), but when away it’s in my bag and I forgot to transfer it to my night kit.

As 24hrs have passed-just go back to normal dose…and try not to do it again!
Thanks. Yes I feel a real idiot.
