Double dose.

I think I may have had my letrazole and ibrance last night and again this morning, by mistake.

I’m not going to take it again tonight.

Anyone else ever don’t this? Will it be okay?

I have forgotten to take it once in the evening so took my Ibrance in the morning and then took my normal dose again in the evening like usual. I didn’t have any problems. You will probably be okay.

To avoid this, I always write the start date on the box. If in doubt I can then count back and check. I'm pretty sure you'll be fine but why not give your onc a bell just for peace of mind?

It's alright everyone. Thanks for your caring thoughts. But I seem to be fine. And breast nurse at my hospital is going to check with my oncologist. But she thinks I've done the right thing in remedying my silly mistake.

Lesson learned. Don't take the pills out of your pm dosset box on the am. And if you're on the phone when your pill alarm goes off..... Always wait and double check before downing the pills. 🤪🤪

I did that once and was ok. Ibrance says take with meal that has most fat so I got in habit of taking right after dinner daily

I found that the best resource for Ibrance was the Pfizer website. They even have a telephone number to talk with a nurse. I used it once. I honestly forgot why. I remember that the information helped. 1-844-9-IBRANCE
