Yes: Its safe as long as you are not STAYING ON a DAILY dose which if stopped suddenly might result in "rebound" Used as directly its safe and effective!! Hope this helps! Dr Z

Yes: So long as you are using the amount as the prescription states you should be fine. If you are needing it more than it is prescribed then you should see your doctor to discuss
