This medication can be taken with or without meals, though maintaining a consistent daily schedule is recommended for optimal results. Your physician will determine the appropriate dosage and frequency based on your specific condition, which may be adjusted periodically. Strict adherence to your doctor’s instructions is crucial, as improper use or overdose may lead to severe adverse effects. While benefits may take weeks or months to manifest, continue treatment unless directed otherwise by your healthcare provider.

Common side effects include blood disorders, digestive issues, appetite changes, and weight reduction. The medication may lower blood cell counts, increasing infection risk. Regular monitoring of blood cells, along with kidney, liver, and heart function, is essential during treatment.

Inform your doctor about any bleeding disorders, liver/kidney problems, or concurrent infection medications before starting treatment. Numerous drug interactions are possible, so disclose all medications you’re taking. This treatment is not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Both male and female patients should use effective contraception throughout therapy to prevent pregnancy.
