Short answer: The Follistim AQ Cartridge label says that if you miss or forget a dose, the next dose should not be doubled, and you should call your healthcare provider for further dosing instructions. The Patient Information says the same. Follistim AQ is a daily injection under the skin with the Follistim Pen, adjusted by your fertility team.
| Situation | What the label says |
|---|---|
| Schedule | Daily injection under the skin with the Follistim Pen (2.1) |
| Missed or forgot a dose | Call your healthcare provider for further dosing instructions (17) |
| Doubling up | The next dose should not be doubled (17, Patient Information) |
Section 17 says: "Inform women and men that if they miss or forget to take a dose of FOLLISTIM AQ Cartridge, the next dose should not be doubled and they should call the healthcare provider for further dosing instructions."
The Patient Information says: "If you miss or forget to take a dose, do not double your next dose. Ask your healthcare provider for instructions."
The label does not give a self-managed rule because doses are set and changed by the fertility team using blood and urine hormone tests and ultrasound (sections 2 and 5). A missed dose can change those plans.
