Follow these guidelines to ensure correct and effective use of oral medications prescribed through Hormn:

1. Take Exactly as Prescribed

  • Follow the instructions provided by your doctor in the treatment plan.

  • Pay attention to timing (e.g., morning or night), whether to take with food, and dosage frequency.

  • Do not alter the dose or frequency without medical guidance.

2. Splitting Tablets

  • If your medication needs to be split into halves or quarters, use a pill cutter for accuracy.

  • Do not attempt to break pills by hand or with a knife as this can lead to incorrect dosing.

3. Missed Dose Protocol

  • If you miss a dose and remember within 12 hours: Take it as soon as you remember.

  • If more than 12 hours have passed: Skip the missed dose and resume your normal schedule at the next scheduled time.

  • Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

If you're unsure about dosing or experience side effects, message your doctor via your Hormn portal.
