Antifungal medicines - Missed or extra doses 

Missed or extra doses of antifungal medicines 

Your GP or pharmacist should advise you on how to take or use your antifungal medicine. For further information, see the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine or the Medicines information tab above.

Missed doses

If you miss a dose of antifungal medicine, check the patient information leaflet that comes with it to see what action is advised. You may need to take the missed dose as soon as you remember and the next dose at the normal time.

Extra doses

Speak to your GP or pharmacist if you take too much of your antifungal medicine. You may be advised to visit your nearest hospital’s accident and emergency (A&E) department. If you are advised to go to hospital, take the medication’s packaging with you so that the healthcare professionals who treat you know what you have taken.
