Accepted Answer

Best to discuss doc: I don't know if you have an ID doctor who is prescribing your PEP, but this question would best be directed at that physician. In general, though, for PEP, if you forget just one days dose you should indeed double up  the next dose,or as soon as you remember, whichever is first. If it's more than one day's dosing, you absolutely need to speak with prescribing physician,  as change may be needed.
