The tablet is meant to be dissolved in a glass of water before swallowing. You can take it with or without food, but it works best when taken at the same time every day. Drinking enough fluids during the course is strongly advised, as this reduces the chances of dehydration and kidney complications. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for the next one, in which case you should skip the missed dose. Do not take two doses together.

While using this medicine, some individuals may experience unwanted effects like headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, fever, skin rash, vomiting, diarrhea, or general weakness.

Pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, or those planning to conceive must seek medical guidance before starting treatment.
