The dose and duration depend on the infection being treated, the patient’s clinical condition and the prescribing doctor’s instructions. Swallow extended-release tablets according to the product label. Do not crush, chew or split the tablet unless the approved product instructions specifically permit it. Do not change the dose or stop treatment without consulting your healthcare professional.
