Aromasin - Took Double Dose By Mistake

What do you do, if anything, if you suspect you've taken a double dose of Aromasin in one day? I've reason to believe I forgot I had taken one dose and took another almost immediately [chemo memory failure]

You can probably just relax, but look for a way to not let it happen again. I have a pill container that I got at the pharmacy with a compartment for each day of the week. I fill in a whole week's supply and then I can tell if I've take the pill for that particular day.

Give your Dr. a call. He'll probably reassure you that it isn't a problem. I also sometimes call my pharmacist about medication questions.  He know pills!

Good luck!

Thanks very much for responding Teresa. My problem is that I have many meds to take at different times and two I only take at bedtime. All meds but those two are in my kitchen and I do just what you suggested. It's the two meds in the bedroom that fool me. I am to take them just before I go to bed and I have a little bowl for them. I believe I must forget to put them in the bowl, or I put tomorrow night's in the bowl right away and that gets me in trouble. I get a feeling of deja vu sometimes and that convinces me I've already taken them

For goodness sakes, get another weekly pill container for the bathroom!  It's not worth the risk to do otherwise and they cost very little.  They cost a lot less than an extra pill you might take by mistake.

Call you doctor or your pharmacist, tell them what you suspect.  I agree with the last responder that it's probably fine, just do't do it again!  LOL! 

There are so many different things to remember now and the pills should be the least of your worries.

Good work on the diet, too.  You'll end up healthier than you've ever been!
