Remembering Medication

I get very busy in the morning at work and sometimes forget to take my medication, what should I do when this happens?

In general you should take the medication as soon as you remember, even if it later than you usually take the medication.  However, if you take the medication more than once a day, and the time is getting close for your next dose, you should just wait, and take the next dose only.  You should NOT double the dose at that time, this can be very dangerous.
