Generally, we don't expect that these four-a-day medications are given exactly at six hours and it's understandable/okay to have a longer (two extra hours or so) period between pills overnight. This would mean the day ones are given closer together, which is fine for this medication. I hope that helps and Jasmine gets better soon.
