That depends on how often you are prescribed the doses per day (for example, every 6 hours...every 8 hours...every 12 hours...). Generally speaking, skip the dose you missed and start again with the next scheduled dose. You should call your doctor and ask them.

What if you double dose Wellbutrin 350mg?

Why would you double dose? 700mg would be a large dose! If you miss a dose take it as soon as you remember then take the next dose at the normal time. Unless you are already close to the next time you should take it. Then just wait. I would never double dose a medication. Talk to your doctor if it is not working for you.

You are on antibiotics will one or two beers harm you?

"Harm" no, but alcohol completely makes taking the antibiotic moot. You actually just might as well not take the antibiotic, which of course, you CANNOT, if you are on an antibiotic for any reason. If you do NOT taking it would be absolutly wrong, always remember to take the entire perscription, as directed, as you know, your body could grow immune to the antibiotic if it is not taken correctly, then, the next time you are required to take an antibiotic, your body may not take and use the antibiotic properly.

If you throw up about 2 hours after taking 2 500 mg azithromycin tablets will it decrease effectiveness?

Yes, simply because you vomited two tablets that are vital to your therapy. Antibiotics need to be taken in full, and, if you even miss one dose, you can be right back to the beginning, even if you feel great, and all better 4 days into the prescription. DO NOT TAKE ANOTHER DOSE until you have consulted your HEALTH PROFESSIONAL. There are a wide array of reasons you might have vomited these pills. This is a POWERFUL antibiotic, and besides, if you are still nauseous, chances are you will vomit the next dose.

What if you forget to take your prilosec otc in the morning?

You can really take Prilosec at any time of day. You usually take it in the morning so that it can control your stomach acid all day and keep you from getting heartburn. If you forget, just take it as soon as you remember. Unless it is time for your next dose - then you skip the other dose and just take your usual next dose.
