Hey, so I kinda messed up my TB meds schedule. I was late by 12 hours twice. First time, I missed my morning dose and ended up taking it at night. Then, the next time, I missed the night dose and took it in the morning. But I've been consistent since, like if I took the missed dose at night, I continued the rest of the doses at night. Is this a problem, or am I still on the right track?
