If you accidentally took more or less medication than prescribed, here's what to do.
I took MORE than prescribed (overdose)
A single accidental overdose is usually not dangerous, but you should:
Do NOT take another dose to "make up for it"
Monitor for increased side effects (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea may be more intense)
Message your doctor through your account to report what happened
Stay hydrated and rest
Seek emergency care if you experience
Severe, persistent vomiting
Severe abdominal pain
Signs of severe low blood sugar (shakiness, confusion, sweating)
I took LESS than prescribed (underdose)
If you injected less than intended:
Do NOT inject more to make up the difference
Continue with your regular schedule on your next dose
Message your doctor if you're unsure how to proceed
I missed my dose entirely
Less than 5 days late: Take your dose as soon as you remember
5 or more days late: Skip the missed dose and continue with your next scheduled dose
Never double up on doses.
