What should I do if I miss a dose of PCOS care?
Short answer
Follow your PCOS care label or your prescribing physician’s missed-dose instructions. In general, take a missed dose when you remember unless it is almost time for the next one. Skip it if needed, and never double up. Ask your pharmacist if the timing is unclear.
Your prescription label and prescribing physician’s instructions come first. For these medicines, general guidance is to take a missed dose when you remember unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and return to your regular schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for one.
Because this product is typically taken with dinner and includes extended-release metformin, ask your pharmacist what to do if you remember at a different mealtime or late at night. There is no single cutoff that fits every prescribed schedule. Do not add an extra dose without checking.
If you miss several doses, contact your care team before restarting or changing your schedule. Tell them why you missed the medicine, especially if you were vomiting, had diarrhea, or could not drink enough fluids. A phone reminder or a daily routine may help you keep track. Keep the medication in its labeled container so the directions stay available.
