missed dose
Pill not taken
A missed dose is a scheduled amount of medication that wasn't taken at the intended time.
The term appears constantly in prescription instructions and medical advice: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it's almost time for your next dose.
Missing doses can reduce a medication's effectiveness or cause withdrawal symptoms.
