How to Use (Kaise leni hai)
Check the medicine name, strength and instructions before each course. Do not share a prescription or change its dose, duration or formulation without professional advice.

Seek urgent medical advice for a suspected overdose or serious reaction. Bring the pack and details of the amount and time used.
