td-dmps missed dose question

[Guest guest]

If a child on td-dmps (following Andy's dosing suggestions), missed

the midnight dose (8 hour interval), my understanding is that it is

advisable to stop the round. However, if the round was not stopped,

but the 8 am dose was given, should the round be then continued as

usual, made longer, or other suggestions?

thank you,

I can't really say what the 'best' thing to do is. I did miss one

midnight dose myself (with oral DMPS) and I did resume at 8 am the

next day and keep going. There will likely be some redistribution,

but redistribution will be minor IF the dose is low enough. I would

stop if I noticed side effects (fatigue, irritability, and so on).
