Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that you have nothing to worry about.

If you missed the time 6am, and took the drug at the time 8am, you can postpone the other periods of the day when you should take the drug, in order to divide the day in equal parts : 8am, 4pm, 12pm (every 8 hours).

You can do this even in the next days.

There is not a big difference in 2 hours delay.

So, relax and don't worry about it!

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
