Whats the worst thing that can happen if i don't take my pills at the exact same time each day, but i do take them everyday nonetheless.

Not to worry: You don't have to take your meds on an absolute regimen , but you should try to be consistent with the general timing. This is especially true if you are on a med that is taken 3-4 times a day. You should not take them all at once, but as directed. Now, go out there and be healthy. Good luck.
