No problem: You must however remain well hydrated, especially in saudi arabia. If you tend to get dehydrated you have a chance of developing kidney stones. Drink a minimum of eight 12 glasses of water per day. One other long-term but relatively rare risk is the development of glaucoma. If you develop this you will have one eye that is bright red and painful. If it happens please go immediately to the emergency room. Otherwise you are unlikely to develop any long-term problems with this medication.

Regular lab tests: Presuming you are taking it for a significant and necessary medical cause, watching your liver enzymes and blood counts through regular blood tests should mitigate most any long term effects.
