Advice & Tips

i know i should take them but it is very hard. it has to be 3 tablets 3 times a day. they have to be kept in foil selves of 10. you cant put them in a pill minder because they dissolve easily. i would have to carry them around to take them 3 times a day primary carnitine deficiency syndrome is very scary this is the only medication i have problems taking
