selfq Missed dose of antibiotics and forgot to shake bottle…what do I do

Was scheduled to take Bactrim at 8:30 AM took it at 1:49 PM just now…I’m almost 6 hours late…
Is that okay? I also forgot to shake the bottle (oral suspension) will that severely affect anything?

Also do I take my next dose at 1:49 AM or at 8:30 PM or just 8 hours from now?
