trial coordinator was most concernd that i still did meds and did not skip 2 pills for that day

Why were they so concerned?  Did they suggest you should have skipped the next dose?

I plan on taking my midnight teleprevir at 1am.  Hope this is the right thing to do

Just wanted to let you know I copied what you said but when I pasted it said something about report spam abuse in the paste.   I clicked something wrong and accidently reported you as spam.  I am so sorry and hope you don't have any problems with this.  I am so shook up over the pill incident and was moving way too fast. Sorry !

I have delayed interferon and Ribivarin for up to 24 hours .I was informed that it was  ok by the Hep clinic here . check with the doctor though . I got a jab wrong in my 3rd week and had to wait from a Friday afternoon  to the following Monday for a new pen . I was told this was ok , but not on a regular basis . GOOD LUCK ! . love from England .

my comment, above was regarding ribavirin. I'll leave Telaprevir opinions to those familiar with the dosing.

Personally, I'd take them now but with food that has some fat in it. Ribavirin has a very long half life so it really doesn't matter much how many hours apart you take them.

I took them, but am suppose to take 2 at midnight--should I take them then, or wait till 1am.  I don't want to overdose

I can't believe I did this -- I had the pills sitting in front of me while on computer and got so involved reading and forgot --looked up at 6:30 and theres the pills sitting on desk.  ****!

Yes, take them now. 2 hours won't make any difference.
