[Growzer]

This morning went to work and usually take my meds at 7:30 A.M , Between brain fog and and busy I forgot to take my meds did not notice until now at 7:30 P.,M when I went to take evening meds morning meds are still in container . I have never missed a dose , I am in week 10 und at week 4 , I feel so dumb how could I let this happen. I take Incivek Riba and peg .. I'm looking for input on how this could effect my treatment
Thanks  Mike

I have to agree with everyone. It is not uncommon to forget your meds. I even threw up 1 dose of the incivek and was freaking out but I finished treatment and I am still UND as of right now.

Hey the rubber band idea is a very good one.  Good for you! :)
Every time I took a dose I would write it down on my calendar.  I think I got in to that habit from the trial I was on in 2008, I had to write down every dose and what time I took it.

Just take you next dose as scheduled and don't do it again : ).  Your not the first person who has done this.  But remember its important you don't forget.

This is what I did to remind myself.  I took 3 rubber bands and put them on my right wrist.  (I took incivek 3xdaily) When I took the pills in the morning - I would take 1 rubber band off and put it on my left wrist.  I also did this on my 2nd and 3rd daily dose. So I visually knew if I had taken the all my pills.  Barbaric as it may sound... worked really well.  

I don't think this one time missing a dose will effect your treatment.

              did you also miss doses of incivek.  i dont know how many doses you missed, but hopefully it will workout.  i was hospitalised in week 3 of the same tx your doing.  the drs couldnt get the pills from the pharmacy so i missed 2 doses of incivek and 1 dose of rib.  it all worked out fine.  i am SVR now

Being your into week 10 with the incivek I would not sweat this, just continue on as you was. Trust me missing a dose during treatment is not uncommon....... Hang in there
