The duration of treatment may vary, but it should be taken for at least 8 weeks, and if symptoms do not improve after 3 months, a doctor should be consulted. While taking this medication, adverse reactions such as nausea, headaches, insomnia, and skin rashes may occur, so if these symptoms arise, consult a healthcare professional immediately.
