    Major (for Treat side effects of another treatment)
  • Side effects

  • Adherence

  • Burden
    A little hard to take
Dosage: 20 mg Daily
Advice & Tips: This is the same stuff that you can get over the counter but it's much cheaper if I get it through our mail order pharmacy. I put all my drugs into a drug interaction checker and discovered that it might negate the effects of an aspirin-like NSAID I take. That, and the fact that it has to be taken 1/2 hr before eating, made it tough to figure out where in the day to fit it in. Lately I've been taking it first thing in the morning, as soon as I get up, and then I take my AM meds (which have to be taken with food) a short while later. This schedule seems to work for me.
