Question: Should I take my meds today, or wait til tonight?
I was given a medication ( Carbamazepine ) 200mg. 1 pill in the morning 2 at night at bed time.
SO much has been happening today that I for got my morning pill and it's now 4:30pm. Should I go ahead and take the one from the morning then the night time ones, or just wait til tonight?
Answers:
Start with the dosage for bedtime. Take the two tabs of Tegretol tonight.
"SO much has been happening today that I for got my morning pill and it's now 4:30pm" -- You cannot afford to forget. Make sure this is the last time that happens.
"Cant ask my Dr, it's Saturday and he aint there" -- You could have had your doctor paged.
I'm a nurse.
follow the instructions said when you miss a dose, or take the dose as soon as possible to not mess up. contact your doctor just to let him know of this.
I would just wait until tonight. Nothing will happen if you forget to take it once.
Ask your doctor.
