Maprotiline: What Should I Do If I Miss a Dose?
If you do not take your maprotiline as scheduled, take your missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if you usually take your dose at night, you may not want to make up the missed dose, due to the risk of drowsiness if maprotiline is taken during the day. Also, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose of maprotiline.
Generic maprotiline tablets are available in the following strengths:
- Maprotiline 25 mg tablets
- Maprotiline 50 mg tablets
