Instructions

This medication is typically used only once a day. However, your pharmacist may have suggested a different schedule that is more appropriate for you. You should take this medication at approximately the same time each day.

It must be used regularly and continuously to maintain its beneficial effects. Be sure to keep an adequate supply on hand. If you remember missing a dose within 6 hours of the time it is usually taken, take the missed dose as soon as possible, then take the next dose at the regularly scheduled time. If the dose is missed by more than 6 hours, skip the missed dose. Do not double the next dose to catch up.

This medication may be taken with or without food.

In addition to its desired action, this medication may cause some side effects, notably:

  • it may cause headaches;
  • it may cause unusual tiredness;
  • on occasion, it may cause a dry cough -- contact your pharmacist or doctor if it becomes bothersome.
  • it may cause dizziness - use caution when getting up from a lying or sitting position and use caution if driving;
  • it may alter your sense of taste;

Each person may react differently to a treatment. If you think this medication may be causing side effects (including those described here, or others), talk to your health care professional. He or she can help you to determine whether or not the medication is the source of the problem.
