Oral capsule. Take exactly as prescribed, preferably after a full meal for better absorption. Swallow whole; do not crush or chew. If you use acid-reducing medicines, take them as advised by your doctor as they may reduce absorption.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

If you take too much
