FAQs about Durezol
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose of Durezol, you should take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up. This information is provided in the Patient Counseling Information section of the label.
Can I take Durezol while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The use of Durezol during pregnancy should be considered only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. It is not known whether Durezol is excreted in human milk; therefore, caution should be exercised when administering Durezol to nursing mothers. This guidance is found in the Warnings and Precautions section of the label.
How should I store Durezol?
Durezol should be stored at room temperature, away from light and moisture. Do not freeze the medication. Proper storage is outlined in the Storage section of the label.
