Brief Answer:
Wait until the next dose.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

If you didn't see the pills, do not repeat and wait until the next scheduled dose. Do not repeat it at this time. Besides, it is not the most important drug as it is meant to offer relief alongside the antibiotics.

I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
