When Can A Missed Diazepam Dosage Be Taken?

if i miss a dose of a medication, should I take it as soon as possible or should I wait until the next time the dose is due? I take diazapem 4 times a day and I missed my afternoon dose, then I take 2 at night before bed. So should I skip that dose that I missed and just take the medication tonight before bed and take the normal dose tomorrow?

Hello,

If you are not feeling any symptoms (eg anxiety) when you skipped the dose you can just take the 2 pills at night then continue as usual. If you have any symptoms that the valium is being used for i suggest you take the medication and the usual medications at night and tomorrow.

Kind regards
