Dosage depends on your condition and response; continue as prescribed even if symptoms improve rapidly. Smaller, more frequent meals, and avoiding caffeine, spicy, and fatty foods enhances efficacy. Common, usually mild, side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, gas, diarrhea, and stomach ache. Persistent or bothersome effects warrant medical attention.
