Follow instructions: Ideally its best to follow your doctors instructions. Generally medications may be started low to evaluate tolerance.Watch for dizziness, headache, cough and fatigue. Report any worsening dizziness. Go to emergency room if face swells. Please discuss any clarification of your regimen with your doctor. Take care.
