Don't try to take two doses worth at the same time.  Just start back on your regular dosing routine.

I missed a dose of each of my orals at different times. If within 4 hours, go ahead n take it. If not, let it go. I missed a dose 3 days in and I still was UND at week four. It DOES make you pay close attention... I know I got more cautious. I also got phone calls returned both times... hmmm. That would upset me not to get a call returned from 24 hr nurse.
I'm not doing so well right now w. remembering and have gotten help.. It's gonna be ok. Take care. Karen :)

Not a big deal - I had to miss 2 days due to Caremark not getting a correct  prescription.  I was UND at 2 weeks and am now.  My doc said it was fine.  The Interferon though has to be on target.  Best of luck

Hi Billy Ty for ur input. I needed that. I was truely worried I am so glad to know that. Ya I do have a pill box and all but I just forgot cuz I had.  the alarm on my fon for my doses BUT had my fon turned down so thats why I forgot but my pill box showed me I missed the dose. so TODAY Im going to buy an alarm clock JUST for my meds. Maybe thats what I need...I hope this works..Thanks again and I hope you have a great day and YES so far so good otherwise just headaches and I do get tired some and bout 6pm every night I feel a bit sick but dont last long so I think Im doing really good hope you are too.
