Take tablets once every 12 hours…does that mean if taken at 2pm one day, then you take another the next day 2pm?
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
What is the tablet you are taking every 12 hours?
As it it 12 hourly it will need to be taken at 2 pm and 2 am. It would be recommended to do this at a more suitable hour to avoid impacting sleep e.g., 10 am and 10 pm.
When taken 12 hourly, it does need to be at the same time each day. Waiting longer/taking them sooner can cause the level of drug in the body to either be too much or too little.
Josh.
