How to take Foundayo tablets

Foundayo is taken once daily, at any time of day, with or without food, and with or without water. It should be swallowed whole and not broken, crushed or chewed. Patients must take it exactly as prescribed, must not change their dose and must not take more than one tablet per day. 

During your consultation, your clinician will guide you through how to take Foundayo. You can also read and follow the instructions as laid out in the Patient Information Leaflet that comes with your medication. 

What should I do if I miss a Foundayo tablets dose?

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not take more than one dose in one day and do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose. If you’re unsure, please get in touch with your clinician.

How to store your Foundayo tablets

You should store Foundayo tablets in their original packaging in order to protect them from light. This medicinal product is light sensitive, but does not require any special temperature storage conditions.
