How often should I take Verzenio?

AM/PM
Take each dose of Verzenio by mouth 2 times a day—once in the morning and once in the evening, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

Same time every day
Try to establish a routine of taking your morning and evening doses at about the same times each day—for example, when you brush your teeth in the morning and before bed.

As directed by your doctor
Take Verzenio exactly as your doctor tells you. Your doctor may change your dose if needed. Do not stop taking Verzenio or change the dose without talking to your doctor.
What should I do if I miss a dose or get sick after taking a dose?
If you miss a dose of Verzenio, or get sick after taking a dose, take your next dose at your regular time. Do not take an extra dose of Verzenio to make up for any dose you may have missed.
For example, if you forget to take your morning dose, then you should only take your regular evening dose rather than doubling it.
How should I take Verzenio?
Swallow the prescribed number of Verzenio tablets whole. Do not chew, crush, or split before swallowing
