Short answer: The Cycloset label says that if the morning dose is missed, the usual dose is taken the following morning, and doses should not be doubled the following morning. Cycloset is taken once a day within two hours after waking, with food. In other words, the label has no late dose later in the day.
| Situation | What the label says |
|---|---|
| Schedule | 1.6 mg to 4.8 mg (2 to 6 tablets) once daily within two hours after waking, with food (2.1) |
| Missed the morning dose | Take the usual dose the following morning (2.1, 17) |
| Doubling up | Doses should not be doubled the following morning (2.1, 17) |
Section 2.1 says: "If the morning dose is missed, instruct patients to take their usual dose the following morning. Doses of CYCLOSET should not be doubled the following morning." Section 17 repeats this under Missed Doses.
The label sets the timing, not the reason: Cycloset is taken within 2 hours after waking in the morning (sections 2.1 and 17), with food to possibly reduce nausea. The missed-dose rule keeps that timing by moving to the next morning.
