Missed dose - worried - should I take extra? 6 years 4 months ago #8840

Phoenix Offline Senior Member Posts: 72 Thank you received: 84 Karma: 2	Hi, was 2 and a half hours late with my dose today. How bad is that? How much more depleted would the medication have gotten in my body in that time? Should I take an extra dose today to try and nuke any viruses that were encouraged to develop resistance by the holiday I gave them?

Just to clarify for most of the time it's regular 24 hr periods but I seem to be about 3 few days in front

DrJames Offline Platinum Member Posts: 1980 Thank you received: 7261 Karma: 111	Hello Phoenix, It is not even a slight worry. Only very low dose things like the mini pill require taking within a 3 hour daily window to be effective. In the PROTON study people taking 200 mg of Sofosbuvir+Riba had a 90% SVR rate, versus a 91% rate for 400 mg. You are not taking mini-sofosbuvir.
