Lesson Overview

6.6 – What to Do If You Miss a Dose: Everyone slips up sometimes, and missing a dose doesn’t mean you’ve failed—it means it’s time to act wisely. The first step is to stay calm and check the medication label for missed-dose instructions. Some medicines should be taken right away; others should wait until the next scheduled time. Avoid doubling doses unless a healthcare professional confirms it’s safe. Writing down when you missed it helps track patterns and prevent repeated errors. Using a medication app or alarm can reduce future forgetfulness. If missed doses become frequent, share that information with your doctor—they can help adjust timing or dosage. Turning mistakes into learning moments keeps you in control instead of ashamed. What matters most is your response, not the slip itself. Consistency is built through awareness and recovery, not perfection. Each correction strengthens your reliability and protects your health long-term.
