When Should Lovastatin Be Taken After Skipping A Dosage?
I forgot to take my lovastatin last night but having taken an iron tablet this morning. How long before I can take a statin to make up for last night before I resume taking my daily medication which include my blood pressure, diabete tablet and daily supplement?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, if you missed the dose of statin, then no worry, you can continue as per advise from next day. Kindly try to take it in night along with other night medications. No need to increase dose in case of missed dose. You can take half of an hour before sleep.
Take care.
