Some general considerations for when and how to take the medication include the following:
- It comes in tablet form. You generally take it once or twice a day, depending on your healthcare provider's instructions.
- You can take it with or without food.
- You should take it at the same time each day to maintain an even level of the medication in your blood.

The dosage recommended by your healthcare provider will vary depending on a number of factors, including:

As is always the case, do not adjust your dose unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider to do so.
