Dosage depends on your condition and response. Continue taking it as directed, even if symptoms subside quickly. Smaller, more frequent meals, and avoiding caffeine, spicy, and fatty foods enhances treatment. Common, generally mild, side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, gas, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention.
