Short answer: Section 2.1 of the Forzinity label says: if a dose is missed, skip the dose and take the next dose at the scheduled time. Do not take a double dose. Forzinity is 40 mg injected under the skin once a day at the same time each day, or 20 mg for some adults with low kidney function.
| Situation | What the label says |
|---|---|
| Schedule | 40 mg under the skin once daily at the same time each day; 20 mg with eGFR below 30 not on dialysis (2.1, 2.2) |
| Missed a dose | Skip it (2.1) |
| Next dose | At the scheduled time (2.1) |
| Doubling up | Do not take a double dose (2.1) |
Section 2.1, under "Missed Dose", says: if a dose is missed, skip the dose and take the next dose of Forzinity at the scheduled time. Do not take a double dose of Forzinity.
Unlike many daily medicines, the label does not say to take a late dose when you remember. A missed injection is skipped.
Example: your usual time is 8 am and you realize at 3 pm that you forgot. Under the label you would not inject that day and would take your next dose at 8 am the next morning.
Section 2.1 says patients should receive the dose at the same time each day. The skip rule keeps doses on that schedule.
