A member asked:
Immediately a breast cancer survivor. on the drug tamoxifen, i missed a day. can i take 2 pills in one day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No...: No, if you missed it completely do not double up. In the future if you miss a dose and remember within 8 hours you can take the dose. A weekly pill case can be a great reminder for taking pills, there are also dose reminder apps available.
