"Missed antibiotic dose"

If you forget to take a dose of an antibiotic and it is time for your next dose, it is not recommended to double the next dose. Doubling the dose can increase your risk of side effects. Instead, continue taking one tablet at a time until you have finished the prescribed duration. The missed dose is simply lost.
