Advice & Tips
I had to take this medication 5 times a day, four 200 mgs caps. It was alittle hard to fit it into all my other medicine doses. I had to make out a schedule & the hours so I could check them off as I took them. But it did help with the pain & it dried out the blisters. It was hard at first to take it, but as time went on, it became alot easier, knowing that it was helping me.
