- It can make you drowsy or dizzy. Do not drive or use machines until you know how it affects you.

Common side effects

- Signs of an allergic reaction, such as swelling, a severe rash or trouble breathing

This is not a complete list. If you notice anything unusual, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
- Take it up to three times a day, 6 to 8 hours apart.
- Take it the same way each time, always with food or always without, as food changes how much is absorbed.
- Your doctor will start with 2 mg and increase slowly. Do not take more than 36 mg a day.
- Swallow the tablet with water.
If you miss a dose: Take it as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for your next dose. Never take two doses at once.
