Weeks: it might take at least tow weeks before you noticed any changes in the complication or side effect usually it take 2-3 weeks to be effective when you start taking the medicine this kind of medicine it take a while to reach a level in the blood to be therapeutic or effective and it take similar time for the effect to go away i hope that answer your question good luck thank you for using health tap
