Tips and Tricks for minimizing side effects and maximizing absorption

• Timing: Take it immediately after getting out of bed for the day, at least 30 minutes before your first food, drink, or other medication. Waiting 30 minutes is minimal, but 2 hours is optimal.
• Frequency: Follow your doctor's specific schedule, which is usually once a week on the exact same day, or once a day.
• Liquid: Swallow the tablet whole with a full 6 to 8-ounce glass of plain water only. Do not use mineral water, coffee, tea, soda, or juice. Demineralized (reverse osmosis) or distilled water is optimal.
• Posture: Stay sitting, standing, or walking upright for at least 30 minutes after swallowing the pill. Do not lie down until after you have eaten your first food of the day.
• Swallowing: Do not chew, suck, or crush the tablet, as it can cause mouth ulcers or throat irritation.
