Argh!! I forgot if I took my heart pills tonight or not. So I am guessing it's better to skip a dose than to double one.

I think I did, but I am not sure at all.

Responses:

call a pharmacist or emergency ward and ask if they think you should skip -- nm - zork Feb 6, 22:00
how many do you take per day? I take 2 metformin pills per day. If I don't count two in the morning, I cannot remember if I took the second. -- nm - loosilu Feb 6, 21:09 5
- 6 heart pills, 1 gout -- nm - peglegpete Feb 6, 21:17 2
  - all the same medicine? -- nm - loosilu Feb 6, 21:19 1
    - no. different pills. one or 2 is probably for cholesterol -- nm - peglegpete Feb 6, 22:07
- I take 1 coreg in the morning, and 1 at night (that slows my heartrate) at night only I take my blood pressure one. -- nm - Redmond Feb 6, 21:13 1
  - Not that it helps you tonight, but I strongly suggest counting them all out in the morning. - loosilu Feb 6, 21:18
do you feel lucky, punk? - dirty pigby Feb 6, 21:05
Count them. See when it was filled and do the math? -- nm - Spawn Feb 6, 20:51 1
- What an idiotic idea! -- nm - Todd Manning Feb 6, 20:53
Would counting the remaining pills help? -- nm - Todd Manning Feb 6, 20:51 14
- I get 3 months supply at a time. I wouldn't be able too. It's fine my blood pressure would just go up a little, nothing major. -- nm - Redmond Feb 6, 20:53 12
  - you can't count up to 90? -- nm - dogbert183 Feb 6, 21:23 6
    - Not unless he has 8 friends over. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 6, 22:29
    - i get them refilled when I still have some old prescription left. so how would I know how many should be in the bottle? -- nm - redmond Feb 6, 21:37 4
      - ok, you said that it's the coreg you take twice a day, so count and see if you have an even or odd amount. if you started the bottle in the morning - dogbert183 Feb 6, 21:45
      - *confused* you bring them back with pills still in the bottle and they add 90 to the bottle? -- nm - loosilu Feb 6, 21:40 2
        
        no I get a new bottle but I m still using the old bottle ones up. -- nm - redmond Feb 6, 21:47 1
        
        And you people laugh at old folks and their pill boxes....at least I know when I 've missed a dose :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 6, 21:54
  - See Manning, you are a grade A moron! -- nm - Spawn Feb 6, 20:55 4
    - He didn't even dignify your suggestion with a response! -- nm - Todd Manning Feb 6, 20:59 3
      - Being told how wrong you were is not really that great of a response. -- nm - Spawn Feb 6, 21:04 2
        
        Dripping with jealousy, you are. -- nm - Todd Manning Feb 6, 21:10 1
        
        master yoda? -- nm - pigby Feb 6, 21:13
- That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. -- nm - Spawn Feb 6, 20:52
