It says take 6 tablets on day 1 and deccrease by i tablet every day for 6 days. With those 2 injections today, should I consider today or tomorrow as day one?

Hi,
Knowing what injection they gave you would've been more useful, nevertheless Day 1 for any med means the day 1st dose was given. So if you are taking 6 tablets today, the day of injection, then Day 1 is today if you start 6 tablet tomorrow then tomorrow will be Day 1.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
