Abstract

More than 80% of patients occasionally miss a dose of their medication. Health practitioners ought to plan with their patients what to do if a dose is missed. Patients believe that this plan should be a required part of the information received when a medication is prescribed and dispensed. Consumer Medicine Information sheets, which are available for most commonly prescribed medications, contain a section on what to do if a dose is missed. The routine use of these sheets or similar advice may help patients to know what to do when they miss a dose.
