Hey PePods

You will be Ok with changing or varying your dose time up to a couple hours, but drop your doctor a line and see how he directs you.

Hi Penelope,

I finished Viekira Pak with Riba and tried to stay on a 10 am and 7 pm schedule but sometimes I just couldn't.  However, it didn't seem to harm me as long as I took it twice daily with food.

Good luck,

FemApples

My doc said to take the meds eight hours apart at 9 and 5 with meals.  I've always struggled with being real on time, so I wondered what other folk's experience was with timeliness.  Like do you think it's ok to take the morning dose between 9 and 10, and the evening one between 5 and 6?  I know it's important to keep the schedule, but wondered how much wiggle room I have.  Thanks!
