How to Use

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor if you are not sure. Not all dosage schemes can be achieved with all the pharmaceutical forms/strengths. The appropriate formulation/strength should be selected for the starting doses and any subsequent dose increases.
