What does the Jentadueto XR label say about a missed dose?

Section 2 has no missed-dose subsection. Section 17, Missed Dose: "Instruct patients to take JENTADUETO XR only as prescribed. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as the patient remembers. Advise patients not to double their next dose."

The Medication Guide says: "If you miss a dose, take it with food 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 JENTADUETO XR at the same time."

Does it matter that the tablet is extended-release?

The missed-dose wording does not change for the extended-release form. Section 2.1 says Jentadueto XR is taken once daily with a meal and swallowed whole. People using two 2.5 mg/1,000 mg tablets take the two tablets together once daily.
