Advice/Tips
Let the prescribing physician/dentist know if you have any allergies and also full disclose all medications including herbals. I had dental work in which this was prescribed as a preventative measure, and the pros and cons of this treatment were discussed. It was basically left up to me to decide if I wished to actually fill the script.
