Photos How To Use Take with food or milk to minimize stomach upset. Take this drug exactly as prescribed. Do not skip doses, increase the dose or stop taking the drug without your doctor's approval.

Side Effects This drug may cause dizziness or vision changes. Watch for signs of dehydration such as dry mouth or thirst.
