What if you miss a dose of Foundayo?

If a dose is missed, instruct patients to take the dose as soon as possible. Advise patients not to double up the next dose. And the part that costs money: If 7 or more consecutive doses are missed, reinitiate dosage escalation at the starting dosage.

Does restarting the escalation cost more?

Yes, and not by one fill. These ladders are priced per dose, so restarting means paying the early-dose months again before reaching the maintenance rate. A first year climbing the ladder is $3,338; a restart adds the low-dose months back on top of wherever you had got to. The per-dose figures are on the cost page for this drug.

How to take Foundayo

Taken once daily. Everything below is quoted from the FDA label rather than summarised, because a dosing instruction restated twice stops being the label and the detail that goes missing is always the number. What this page adds to the label is the part the label has no reason to carry: what a mistake costs.

How do you take Foundayo, and what does getting it wrong cost?

And missing doses does more than skip one: if 7 or more consecutive doses are missed, reinitiate dosage escalation at the starting dosage. On a ladder priced per dose, a restart is paid in months at the early rates rather than in a single fill.
