What if I miss a dose of Dual-action chew?
Short answer
Dual-action chew is listed for use before sexual activity, so there is usually no scheduled dose to miss. Follow your prescribing physician and pharmacy label. Do not take a catch-up dose or double the amount. If you are unsure when another dose is allowed, ask your physician or pharmacist.
Dual-action chew is typically used as needed before sexual activity, rather than on a fixed daily schedule. If you do not take it before planned activity, there is generally no dose to make up. Follow your prescribing physician and pharmacy label rather than creating your own schedule.
The listed directions are to dissolve one troche 30 minutes before activity, with a maximum of one per day. Do not take two troches to make up for a missed dose. Do not take doses close together just because the calendar day has changed. Ask your pharmacist or physician to explain the required spacing if your label is unclear.
If your physician gave you a different schedule, ask for specific missed-dose instructions. If you cannot remember whether you already took a dose, do not take another until you have checked with a health professional. Keeping a simple record of when you take each troche can help prevent an extra dose. Never add another erection medicine to replace a missed troche without physician guidance.
