If you take PrEP pills and miss a dose, don’t panic. When you remember, take it right away. DO NOT take two doses to make up for the one you missed. You can only take one pill a day. If you take more than one pill, miss a dose, or have questions about what to do, contact your provider for help.
If you’ve missed a dose of your PrEP pill and are sexually active, it’s important to take precautions like using other forms of protection. A missed dose can lower your protection against the virus. Practice safe sex at all times but be even more cautious if you’ve missed a dose.
