I take a pill every day since the pollen count is typically high this time of year. I am finding myself sneezing and I'm considering taking a pill...the problem is, I can't recall if I had already taken one today. Hopefully I won't have any crazy side effects for taking another.
 
Can you just take half a pill today and if you already took one earlier it won't be as bad as taking an entire new pill?

I use the WalMart brand of Flonase for my allergies and sometimes I forget if I've done the squirts or not. But doing more isn't harmful as long as I don't consistently do more.
 
That's no fun. I have seasonal allergies, but they only act up when certain types of plants are freshly cut, like grass and alfalfa.
 
If it's an antihistamine I'd err on the side of caution especially if it's the sedating type. Doubling the dose can make you feel pretty ill.

Just one pill overdose wouldn't do much harm.
 
I ended up taking another without any side effects... so either, it didn't damage me or I really did forget to take a pill. lol I am managing OK, still have sneezing fits here and there but at least I don't have brain fog or itchy eyes.

That's good! You could always get one of the pill organizers & put one for each day of the week. They are very useful!
 
You would think medications that are designed to be taken once, daily might be labeled mon, tue, wed etc.
