What should I do if I miss a dose of Custom antimicrobial rinse?
Short answer
If you miss Custom antimicrobial rinse, use it when you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. If so, skip the missed dose and return to your usual schedule. Do not double doses. Follow your label and prescribing physician’s directions if they give different instructions.
If you forget a dose, use it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next scheduled dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and take the next one at its usual time. Follow any missed-dose instructions on your prescription label or from your prescribing physician instead if they differ.
Do not use twice the amount, swish for longer, or add extra rinses to make up for a missed dose. Extra use can increase irritation and other side effects. Continue using the amount and swishing time listed on your label. Your pharmacist can help if you are unsure whether two doses would be too close together.
If you miss several doses, ask your prescriber how to continue. Do not extend the course on your own to make up for missed days. A phone reminder or linking your scheduled dose to a regular daily activity may help you remember. Store the bottle safely rather than leaving it within reach of children.
