Brief Answer:
Continue with your normal dosing schedule

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome back.
Inj decdan is given in pregnancy for fetal lung maturity in case of preterm delivery due to some pregnancy related complications.
It has short life span, excessive morning dose will not give coverage of night dose.
So you will continue with your normal dosing schedule.
Take care.
