PrincessMommy Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I'm on Cipro 2x per day for a UTI. I started the meds late yesterday with one dose. This morning I got up and got my tea and then sat down. Totally forgot to take my meds --- or so I thought. I'm pretty sure I didn't, but I counted the pills to be doubly sure and there's 8 there (should be 9). I really don't remember taking my med. It's big and the tea was hot, I think I'd remember! Is it possible the pharmacist miscounted 10 pills?? I'm still in considerable pain, so I really don't want to accidentally miss a dose either. i've been on Cipro before and it doesn't make me feel that great anyway. But, how bad would it be to take 2 doses at once? Ugh. I'm so frustrated with myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyfaithe Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 No biggie. Just get back on track. Many times the doc tells me to take 2 to start and then one to follow.... I think you are fine! I would make a chart for your fridge and just check off when you take your meds....I am screwy in that if I don't checklist everything it either doesn't get done or it gets done repeatedly.

magnificent_baby Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I would wait until later today (maybe around 1 or 2 pm), then take one right before bed. Can you call a pharmacist and ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessMommy Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Thanks everyone. The mystery has been solved! I found the wayward pill up by my bedside. I had taken it out to take right after I woke up but had to pee WAY too badly to wait (LOL). Then I promptly forgot about it, and went downstairs to make my tea. Thanks for everyone's advice.
