Common questions
How do I remember a twice-daily medicine like this?
Anchor each dose to a daily habit and back it up with two phone reminders spaced across the day. A pill organizer makes a missed dose obvious.
What if I miss a dose?
Don't take a double dose to catch up. Check the patient leaflet or ask your pharmacist for advice.
Can it be taken with or without food?
As a general practice it can be taken either way; taking it the same way each time helps build a habit. Confirm with your pharmacist.
