A member asked:
My medication says to take two capsules & up to 3 times a day. so how many am i supposed to consume?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Up to 6 caps. a day: "Take two capsules" usually means taking 2 capsules at the same time. "Up to 3 times a day" usually means that a patient can decide how many times he wants to take the medicine (depending on how much his symptoms are), meaning he can choose to take medicine once a day, twice a day, or thrice a day. In this case, the maximum is 2 capsules each time, 3 times a day, equaling 6 capsules per day.
