Is Missing A Few Doses Of Levocarnitine A Cause For Concern?
I have metabolic myopathy. My doctor has prescribed levocarnitine, along with a vitamin cocktail that I have taken for over 10 years. My online pharmacy will not be delivering my levocarnitine for another week and I have run out of pills. I usually take 3 330mg tablets, 3 times a day. Is it dangerous for me to be off meds for a week?

Hello,
Actually, if you miss a dose of Levocarnitine, you should take it as soon as possible (but avoid taking two doses together at the same time).
Moreover, do not stop taking medicine without first talking to your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
