Question about meds

[SerenaWelsh]

I take the following meds

Morning
Enalapril 10mg
Digoxin .25mg
MagOX 400mg
Zyrtek 10mg
Calcium -??mg

Night
Enalapril 10mg
ToprolXL 150mg
MagOX 400mg
Calcium -??mg
Asprin 81mg


If on occasion I happen to forget a dose, and I'm not saying I do, just how bad is it? I mean, if it only happens like maybe twice a month? And it might be a morning does, or it might be a night does...just depends. Hypothetically, of course.

Missing one dose here and there? :rolleyes: Not a huge deal. Some people will feel some side effects after missing a dose, some don't. I know I missed my morning dose of Coreg and enalapril yesterday, and as of this morning, I am still doing fine.

Of course missing a dose is not a good habit, but IT IS going to happen. At least that is my opinion! :D

Thanks, Carrie.

It's definately not a habit. Sometimes I fall asleep before I take my night meds, or sometimes I hit the ground running in the morning and realize as I'm cooking dinner that night that I never took the early dose.
The only side effect I ever feel is increased palpitations. Since I still feel the palps all the time anyway, I have to really be paying attention to realize they've increased in frequency.

I just wanted to make sure that during those times I wasn't increasing my risk of having something immediately threatening happen.
