  • Do not use more medicine or use it more often than your doctor tells you to. Take your tablets with a full glass of water. You may take the medicine with food or milk so it does not upset your stomach. Use this medicine for the shortest time possible, never more than 5 days, and in the smallest dose possible.

Blistering, peeling, red skin rash. Bloody or black, tarry stools. Change in how much or how often you urinate. Chest pain, shortness of breath, or coughing up blood.
