What Should I Do If I Miss a Dose of Epitol?

If you do not take your Epitol as scheduled, take your missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose of Epitol. Make sure to let your healthcare provider know if you miss any doses, especially if your Epitol blood levels are being monitored.
