Has anyone ever missed one or more of their dosage of ribaviren? I am supposed to take 2 in am and 2 in pm and I forgot to take the pm dosage and didn't realize it till the next morning when I went to take that days dosage. What will happen, is that really bad for the outcome of my treatment?

Hi, I have 2 in the morning and 3 in the evening, my doctor told me to have them more or less the same time each day, 8am, + 8pm, or as close to that as possible, 8-9, I would just carry on with the next dosage as normal, Im not a nurse but I think just the once would be ok, I have my alarm go off on my phone, at 8am/pm, as I would also forget, try doing that, I hope it's ok, praphes someone can actually give you a correct anser but try not to worry your self over it.

It is not a big problem to miss a dose on occasion as long as it isn't too many. As Tattman said, don't double up. It will wipe you out. Vickey put my meds in a pill sorter and I took them at breakfast and supper. That made it easier to remember.

I have missed several doses throughout my time on tx. Sometimes I slept through the entire day and other times I forgot. But I never doubled up when I forgot. I just told the doc. He asked why and I told him. Not a major dilemma though. Don't worry. Just try to remember

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
