Expert Advice
Take with or without meals. Take medicine at the same time each day. Contact prescriber if unrelieved diarrhea (watery stools), fever, unusual muscle cramps, weakness, mood changes, memory changes, yellowing of skin or eyes, easy bruising or bleeding or unusual fatigue (weakness). Take a missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is likely the time of next dose. Do not double the dose. Avoid high intake of grapefruit juice (>1 litre per day). Take sufficient amounts of fluids (2-3 litres per day), unless restricted by the prescriber. Laboratory tests are important during therapy.
