How to use Optineuron TAB

Take this medication by mouth, usually once daily or as directed. Follow all directions on the product package. If you are uncertain about any of the information, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

If you are taking a brand that contains vitamin C, take this medication by mouth with a full glass of water (8 ounces/240 milliliters) unless your doctor directs you otherwise.

If you are taking chewable tablets, chew the tablet thoroughly before swallowing.

If you are taking extended-release capsules, swallow them whole. Do not crush or chew extended-release capsules or tablets.

If you are taking a liquid product, use a medication-measuring device to carefully measure the dose. Do not use a household spoon. Some liquid products need to be shaken before each dose.
