What Should I Do If I Forget to Take My Medication

Although all medications affect people differently most have one thing in common. They give the best results when taken as directed. This is true of many medications and acne medications are no different. However, this presents a problem for many people as they often get busy with other activities or simply forget to take their medications.

When you forget your medication you should take it as soon as you realize that you have missed a dose, however if it is close to time for another dose it is often advised that you should simply skip the missed dose and return to the original dosing schedule at the next dose.

One thing you should not do is take double doses of medication as this can lead to other problems and in many cases can make you seriously ill.
The best thing to do is to ask your doctor or dermatologist at the beginning how you should handle missed doses. They will advise you what to do in the event you do forget to take your medicine and you will know beforehand what steps you should take before the situation does arise.
