What should I do if I miss a nightly dose of Dark spot cream?
Short answer
Follow the missed-dose directions on your Dark spot cream label or ask your prescribing physician. Do not double the amount or add an extra application to catch up. If you remember near your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and return to your prescribed schedule.
Check your pharmacy label for missed-dose instructions for Dark spot cream. Your prescribing physician’s directions take priority over general advice. If you are unsure what to do, ask your physician or pharmacist before changing your schedule. Do not use extra cream to make up for a missed application.
If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and resume your usual prescribed schedule. Since this treatment is typically used at night, do not add a daytime application unless your physician or label tells you to. Keep using sun protection each day, even when you miss a dose.
If you miss doses often, let your physician know. If you skipped an application because of burning, peeling, or redness, ask for advice rather than trying to catch up. Your physician may need to review your routine or treatment schedule. Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and are not FDA-approved.
