Hi and thank you so much for this query.

It is safe to continue taking it at the exact same dose though having missed it for two days. Also, try not to always forget taking your medication.I will also suggest that you talk to your doctor about the severe side effects you have experienced wit this medication for hos appreciation of the problem and whether there is a need for the drug to be replaced continued.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarification should need be.
