Does anyone have any experience with accidentally missing a 25mg dose? It says not to stop taking abrupty...but I've only been on it for 3 days....I forgot a day.

Should be fine I think.....thought I'd ask!
Thanks

Yeah you'll be fine. Have missed a dose a few times myself and it's no big deal. Dr's say to just take it when you remember.

wenditt ~ I can't tell you how many times I have forgotten new meds/dosages. I so dislike taking any meds/pills/potions. The Dr. always just said take your med(s) when you think of it, unless it is w/i a few hours of your next dose. I have tried remembering, buying special pill carriers w/day p.m./a.m. pockets, etc. I still forget once in a great while. My atenolol is for BP so my BP may get a lil' off for a couple of hours. Not to worry. I am still kickin' ~ ~

COUMADIN/WARFARIN users: Do NOT take a missed dose. My doctors, PM techies, INR techies, etc. tell me it is rat poisoning. It was explained to me, "when given to a rat, it causes stomach bleeding", so if you miss your regular dose, do not take one until your next prescribed dose. Two doses in a row could cause you major damage/illness.

Take care, Carolyn G. in TEXAS GO Saints/Brees

No problem there. Just take your next scheduled dose at the proper time.
 

You survived

Since you were able to ask the question it's probable that no damage was done
