Dosage and Administration

When you need relief from your symptoms, adults and children aged 12 years and older can chew 1 to 2 tablets completely as they occur. It's important not to swallow the tablets whole, as they need to be chewed for proper effectiveness.

Make sure to keep track of how many tablets you take; you should not exceed 8 tablets in a 24-hour period. Additionally, avoid using the maximum dosage for more than 2 weeks unless your doctor advises you to do so. Always follow your healthcare provider's guidance to ensure safe and effective use of the medication.

Overdose

Taking more than 8 tablets in a 24-hour period or using the maximum dosage for more than 2 weeks can lead to an overdose. It's important to follow the recommended guidelines and consult your doctor if you feel you need to exceed these limits.
