Taking meds at certain times?
Aug 28, 2004

Are you supposed to take your medicines at the exact time every day? If you're off a few hours each day does that matter? I usually take my meds at 11:30-12:30 a.m. and p.m.

Response from Dr. Luzuriaga

Taking your medicationss at the same time each day is the best way to keep the levels of the medications in your blood at sufficient levels to inhibit the growth of the virus. For medications that are dosed every 12 hours, one hour plus or minus is probably alright.
