Hi Mich,

 

Thank you for your question! You should try to keep the medications spaced as equally apart as possible. Try for a 12 hour difference, say 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. You should try to keep the times consistent, and consistently 12 hours apart to keep the concentration of drug in the body as even as possible. Best of luck to you!
