Happened to me. Discussed above.

If still many hours away til the next dose take it. But doesn't hurt to miss one dose.

Pill organizers are a good thing to use.

They help keep track of regular med usage.

They come in all sizes and daily schedule spaces to fit most needs.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Take the missed dose on the same day you remember it. Take your next dose at the regular time and stay on your twice-daily schedule. Do not take two doses at one time.

JoyWin: You say it "doesn't hurt to miss one dose." I've been on Eliquis for about four years. In all that time, I have missed only one dose. About 24 hours after my one-and-only missed dose, I had a stroke. Fortunately, it was only mildly disabling and I have fully recovered.

That's a sobering response.

Wow, TMAC!
So sorry to hear that... and glad it was mild.
