FAQs about Jalyn
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose of Jalyn, 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 schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. This information is provided in the Patient Counseling Information section of the label.
Can I take Jalyn while pregnant or breastfeeding?

It is also not known if Jalyn is excreted in human breast milk, so caution is advised for breastfeeding mothers. This information is found in the Contraindications and Warnings sections of the label.
