Hi
You've done the right thing in contacting your team and they will give you the best advice for your personal situation.
My doctor said, "one dose missing won't make too much difference, but dont make a habit if it!
Whatever you do, don't take extra though."
Hope this helps to put your mind at rest before you hear back from the experts....
Best wishes,
Mgt
Thank you 😊 yeah, I was pretty upset when I woke up and my night meds were still at the pill box. Yeah I know not to double the dose they've emphasized that during discharge. Thanks for your help.
