Hi,
i’ve been on Sprycel 100mg qd for a year now.
Occasionally I miss it does. I still don’t quite understand the instructions for missed dose, other than never to double up.
occasionally I miss a dose. I still don’t quite understand the instructions for missed dose, other than never to double up.
What I believe I understand, Is that it should be 22 hours apart preferably 24.

I also understand that the common answer because it’s also probably the simplest is simply if you’re beyond two hours of your time to skip it and resume your normal time of the next day/dose.
However, sometimes I have skipped it. Other times, for example yesterday and I have done something similar to this before but perhaps not quite the four hours that was yesterday. here’s the scenario:
my normal time is 4 PM I missed it yesterday and took it at a few minutes after 8 PM but not as late as 830. so at least four hours late. I should have skipped it but I did not. I took it immediately a few minutes after 8 PM.
The way I adjust when something like that happens which it has occasionally, is I will take it the next day which in this scenario above means today, within two hours earlier of the late time I took it. So today I took it at 6:30 PM. Tomorrow I will take it at 5:30 PM. The day after tomorrow I will resume my 4 PM schedule.
Do you understand my logic there, what I’m going for there? i’m kind of using the two hours/22 hr guideline i was given.
I suppose I could extrapolate that out into a dismissed even by more/longer hours, well it’s kind of a hassle and I wouldn’t really recommend it as what I understand you’re supposed to take it at the same time every day. And I would not of course recommend or I should say I personally would skip it if it was more than four hours past time. I think actually this is the only time I’ve done that meeting the only time I was four hours out I may have been three once before and from what I understand two hours on either side early or late is acceptable.
what do you guys know about this? That I may doing wrong or right?
Thank you
