QUESTION

I am on the lumartem treatment. I started at 8am to 4 pm. then 4am. i forgot to take the drugs at 4pm, but took it at 8;30o. Should I start all over or continue at 4am or 8 am?

ANSWER

If you miss a tablet, you should take the next one as soon as you remember, then wait the required interval before taking the pill after that. So, since you took the missed pill at 8.30, you should take the following one at 8.30am (12 hours later). Then continue as you would normally until all 6 doses have been taken – it is very important to complete the full course of tablets.
