Missing a Victrellis pill freaking out
I took my 5am morning dose of Victrellis and when it came time for my afternoon dose I noticed I only have 7 pills left instead of 8. I have looked everywhere. One of two things (1). I took 5 pills this morning or (2) the packaging was short. What do I do? I more pills at home but I don't want to take more or less than I should. Help!
How should I take VICTRELIS?
• Take VICTRELIS exactly as your healthcare provider tells you. Your healthcare provider will
tell you how much to take and when to take it.
• Take VICTRELIS with food (a meal or light snack).
• VICTRELIS is packaged into single daily-use bottles. Each bottle has your entire day’s worth
of medicine. Make sure you are taking the correct amount of medicine each time.
• If you miss a dose of VICTRELIS and it is less than 2 hours before the next dose, the missed
dose should be skipped.
• If you miss a dose of VICTRELIS and it is more than 2 hours before the next dose, take the
missed dose with food. Take your next dose at your normal time and continue the normal
dosing schedule. Do not double the next dose. If you have questions about what to do, call
your healthcare provider.
• Your healthcare provider should do blood tests before you start treatment, at weeks 4, 8, 12,
and 24, and at other times as needed during treatment, to see how well the medicines are
working and to check for side effects.
• If you take too much VICTRELIS, call your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital
emergency room right away.

I agree with Can-do. Just take your regular dose and keep on going. You are fine and no need to worry!
Have a great day!

Even if you did take an extra one this morning it will not harm you, take your regular dose now and go on. Being short one pill at the EOT won't matter. Good luck
Hi, srw~ I'm on Vic also, week 22 on tuesday. I always say, "better safe than sorry". Just go ahead and take the 4 pills, as instructed, every 8 hours.
You may have dropped that pill, so shake out the sheets, etc.
Plenty of people on this Forum have no doubt accidentally took an extra Victrelis, and it didn't cause damage.
The danger is having the dose be too low (3 pills instead of 4) and setting up a tolerance,to the med, becuz of the lower dosage.
