Antibiotics Metronidazole - Missed a Pill today can I take two?

Know someone that has to take three 500mg pills a day but has not taken any today. Is it ok to take two 500mg pills at once then one later on tonight?

Answer:
If a dose is missed, it is supposed to be taken as soon as it is remembered but if it the time is already close to the next dose, then take only the dose for that time. Remember not to double up, or take more than one dose at a time.
So if that one you know have not taken anything today, take one tablet now and take the tablet for the next dose according to the prescribed timing.
no they say just keep going as usual dont double up
I wouldn't, stay with just one.
yes u can take the pills it is deepen on the time u sepoce to take the pills
No,
but if you take pills and miss a dosage
a good rule of thumb
take it when you remember

For example if you take medications 3 x day
and you missed one in the morning
take that pill as soon as you notice
to get back on schedule.
Honestly, no one would like to take 2 metronidazole pills at once. That med is really hard on the stomach. Take it as soon as you remember to take it. Continue the frequency as directed three times a day, and if the doctor told you to take it (for example)for 5 days (15 doses), take it until you complete the total doses.
