This medicine should be taken regularly at a fixed time each day. It should be used along with lifestyle changes like healthy diet, regular exercise, and smoking cessation for best results. Side effect includes initial dizziness, but this improves with time. It may also produce dryness of mouth in some patients. Frequent mouth rinses, good oral hygiene, increased water intake, and sugarless candy may help with this.
