Consult your doc: Please consult with the doctor who prescribed this medication. Exercise may obviate the need to take the medication. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine, if you are under 27 years of age.

Try: To take it any other day for 1-3 months. But better to discuss this with your doctor who knows your condition. And necessity for this medicine.
