Short answer: The Janumet Medication Guide says: if you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If you do not remember until it is time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 doses of Janumet at the same time. Janumet is taken twice a day with meals.
| Situation | What the label says |
|---|---|
| Schedule | Twice daily with meals; tablets not split or divided (2.1) |
| Missed a dose | Take it as soon as you remember (Medication Guide) |
| Time for the next dose | Skip the missed dose; back to the regular schedule (Medication Guide) |
| Doubling up | Do not take 2 doses at the same time (Medication Guide) |
The prescribing information has no missed-dose section. The Medication Guide, which is part of the same label, says: "If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If you do not remember until it is time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 doses of JANUMET at the same time."
The missed-dose wording does not say. Section 2.1 says Janumet is taken twice daily with meals, with the dose raised gradually to reduce stomach side effects from metformin.
