How to Use This Medicine
Taking Your Medication Correctly
To ensure you get the most benefit from your medication, follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Read all the information provided with your prescription and follow the instructions closely. Some medications should be taken with food, while others should be taken on an empty stomach. If you're unsure, consult with your pharmacist for guidance on the best way to take your medication. Be sure to chew your medication well before swallowing.
Storing and Disposing of Your Medication
To maintain the effectiveness and safety of your medication, store it at room temperature, protected from light, and in a dry place. Avoid storing your medication in a bathroom. Keep all medications in a secure location, out of the reach of children and pets. When disposing of unused or expired medications, do not flush them down the toilet or pour them down the drain unless instructed to do so by your pharmacist. Instead, check with your pharmacist for guidance on the best disposal method or explore drug take-back programs in your area.
What to Do If You Miss a Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's close to the time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time or take extra doses to make up for a missed dose.
