Hi, thanks for your question!

If it has only been a few hours, it is usually suggested to take the missed dose. If it has been a few hours, we usually suggest taking the missed dose. If it is closer to your next dose, do not take the missed tablet, just take the next one at the scheduled time.

I hope I have been helpful, please do not hesitate if you have any further questions!
