Hello dear. No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. So as your calculations are right, there is nothing to worry. Even if u missed a dose or took inappropriate dose only once, even then no need to worry. But now onwards take all medicines daily in appropriate dose. There is no other method to check. Just complete your trratment. Your urine must turn yellow-orange daily if you are taking rifampicin drug.
Thanks and regards
