Question by What’s on my mind…: What does “after 2 days” the doctor told me, mean?
I have to take 3 pills, let’s say take one today, he told me I should take the next one “after 2 days” and the next one, a week from then.

“after 2 days” does it mean I should let 1 whole day pass without taking it and take the pill the second day or let 2 whole days pass and take the pill the 3d day???

Best answer:

Answer by Friend in Need
Wait 24 hours before taking the next pill to avoid overdose and drug abuse. For example, you take one pill on Monday at 3pm, you can then take the next on Wednesday at 3pm, or later, but not too much longer, or the medicine will lose effect.    Read more...
