I just started taking this medication and I have luckily have not had any reactions to this medicine. Becides having to take 2 pills 4 times a day it has been working great!!! Published: October 16, 2007 ::

I had to go on this medication slowly as it increased my symptoms with the full dose. It takes at least a mo. to work and you can open capsules as my doctor recommended due to the fact that I do not take pills. The medicine is coated in side and is also time released.

This medication is difficult to use because of the amounts and times to use "with meals" I don't eat enough to remember to take the medication. Published: March 11, 2008 ::

The dosage is 1000mg 4 times daily, never do I remember to take them all. Usually only 2 doses morning and night. Published: October 20, 2007 ::
