Can I Take Januvia After Lunch As I Forgot To Take Them Post Breakfast?
I take glycoside and januvus at breakfast time. I forgot this morning. It is evening and just realized that I didn’t take Morning meds. Should I take them now and then back on schedule in morning. Or just wait until morning if and get back on schedule.

Hi,
Januvia and other 24 hr drugs are not that sensitive to a few hours difference in timing, so, direct relation to meals isn't generally a problem with it. It will make the glycoside act a bit stronger, but that shouldn't change with a few hours difference. Skipping meals is more of an issue.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
