Missed antibiotic dose

[Tensmums6]

I am taking a strong antibiotic for an infection every 8 hours (10am, 5pm and 1am).

I missed my 1am dose last night and slept through until 10am meaning I had 16 hours between doses. So annoyed at myself for missing it, I was too tired and went back to sleep but have set alarms.

what do I do with the missed dose? Should I tack it onto the end of the course?

I would add them at the end. Could you change your timings though to something like what works more with your waking hours? It's fine if it's not exactly 8 hours. I take some 7 some 9 hours like
8am, 4pm, 11pm so before sleep and after waking

I would change the timing so you're not having to take one at 1am. 8am, 3pm, 11pm maybe

But yes, take the missed one at the end of the course. Or do whatever the leaflet says about missing a dose

Yes Just take it at the end so you will only have 1 the next day.

The usual advice is to take the missed dose as soon as you remember, then carry on with the correct interval from there. But I agree with pp saying to do the doses at times when you are more likely to be awake, and set an alarm. Maybe 07.00, 15.00, 23.00.
