Do not miss even a single dose, if in any case, you missed a dose, take it as soon as you remember or better to skip the missed dose and continue with regular dosing.

The most common side effects of this medicine include headache, weight loss, dizziness, insomnia, and back pain. If these bother you, or appear serious, let your doctor know.
