Don’t take a double dose to make up for a missed one. This can increase your risk of side effects.
If you miss a dose and remember within 12 hours, take it as soon as possible. If it’s been longer than 12 hours, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the regular time.
Managing Missed Doses
Consistency is key with Cymbalta. Missed doses can disrupt your treatment. Try setting reminders, using a pill organizer, or asking a friend or family member for support.
Contact Your Doctor
Frequent missed doses warrant a discussion with your doctor. They can help you adjust your medication schedule or explore alternative strategies to improve adherence.
| Missed dose within 12 hours | Take it immediately. |
| Missed dose after 12 hours | Skip the missed dose; take the next dose as scheduled. |
| Consistently missing doses | Contact your doctor. |
