Hi

If ever you forgot a dose, just take it as soon as you remember. Then take your regular dose at the same time when it is due.

If you only remember very close to when your next dose is due, DO NOT take a double dose.

Hi Lindi, please talk to your doctor. It sounds like this might be morning sickness and not linked to your HIV meds. It is never good to stop meds wihotu talking to your doctor first.
