holly Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 just been prescribed some medication (tablets) and the instructions are pretty straight forward ( one to be taken three times a day ) so i take my first just after waking 7.30am next tablet due at 3.30pm , last tablet due at 11.30pm . now that is not rocket science , trouble is i go to bed at 10pm one and a half hours before my last tablets due, so is working out your medication on a 24hr basis right or wrong ? should i (would you) work them out on your waking hours ? just interested in how other people would go about this (new to me ) task Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drayman Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 It really just means spread them out across the day and don't take all at once. More important is whether it says to take with (before or after) food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubby Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Ive never worked it out to the hour, that sounds way to geekish, you take one on getting up, one at midday, one before bed, as you say, hardly rocket science is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SakoQuad Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 It really just means spread them out across the day and don't take all at once. More important is whether it says to take with (before or after) food. Second that about before or after food otherwise spread as evenly as you can over your waking hours. If it is important to take meds evenly over 24 hours you would be told and label would be very specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
