• If using the liquid suspension, shake the bottle thoroughly before measuring each dose. Ensure the liquid is uniformly mixed and check the expiry date before use.
• This medication can make your skin highly sensitive to ultraviolet light. Avoid prolonged sun exposure, wear protective clothing, and apply sunscreen when outdoors.
• If you experience severe, watery diarrhoea, do not take over-the-counter anti-diarrhoea medications without speaking to your doctor, as they can lock toxins in your gut and worsen the condition.
• Contact your doctor immediately if you feel your heart racing, pounding, or beating irregularly while taking this medication.
