I started z-pack at about 1:00 on saturday. do i need to wait until 1:00on sundayto take the next dose?

With this med you have some options. Timing is not that critical. You could actually take it all at once, but that would increase the rate of GI side effects. This med is gradually absorbed and stored for much longer in the body than other such meds. A few hours either way has little effect in overall treatment success.
