Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually 3 times a day. It may take from several days to several months to complete treatment. Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use it at the same times each day. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.
