work should take one 200 mg pill 1 hour before the shift starts. - Users who have hepatic impairment should take half a regular

like the majority of medications, it has its dose limits for a human.
During human trials, the treatment involved taking a daily dose of
1200 mg for 7-21 days, which is six times higher than a dose regularly
prescribed to patients [ 7 ]. Thus, it’s safe to say that overdosing is

excepted. If something happens to you, you must contact the Poison
Control Center immediately dialing 0845 46 47 for England and
Wales and 08454 24 24 24 for Scotland [ 8 ].
