Advice & Tips
Managing this treatment was very easy for me I would usually wake up and take my dosage which was 3 tablets daily with my breakfast (Always take with food). I did experience a little heart burn but thats about it. I didnt experience any unexpected benefits, and it did help recover from my relapse a little quicker so over all id say it was a pretty good experience. On the cost I just chose something they didnt have what it really cost my i paid $8 one time at the time the prescription was filled and i was on it approximately for two weeks.
