Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Use the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose.So do not worry and continue medication but do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
If you miss your doses for longer than 3 days in a row, call your doctor for instructions. You may need to restart methadone at a lower dose.
Hope it helps.
Take Care!
