Question
Can I give nevirapine 5 hours late?
6 December 2023. Related: Adherence, All topics, Children.
Good morning, my baby is 3 weeks old and I forgot to give her, her morning dose of nevirapine and the zidovudine syrup. She’s also exclusively formula fed. Can I still give her even if I’m 5 hours late?
Answer
Hi, how are you?
Congratulations on having a baby.
Yes you can still give baby their treatment.
As it is still the same day of when baby should have nevirapine and zidovudine it is okay to give treatment late.
You can continue with normal times of treatment tomorrow.
Josh.
