Missed Doses
If a dose is missed, it should be administered as soon as possible within 5 days after the missed dose. If more than 5 days have passed since the missed dose, the missed dose should be skipped, and the next dose should be administered on the regular scheduled medication day. In each case, the patient should resume the once-weekly regular dosing schedule.
