A member asked:
Does a late pill count as missed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Usual instructions for "missed" pill are: "if you 'Miss' a pill, take it as soon as you remember; take the next pill at the regular time." In these instructions, a "missed" pill could be one that was late. If you are supposed to take it in the morning but didn't remember until the afternoon, it is a "missed" pill. Its not a big deal until you miss 2 pills. Best wishes!
