They do not manufacture a dosage that I am taking (12,000 3x/day) so I am taking 8 pills 3,000mg. I do not understand why my doctor cannot prescribe a dosage that is available to take only 2 pills 3x/day but taking 8 pills is a bit much.

Comment:
I have been taking this medication for two months for chronic pancreatitis and haven't exhibited any positive results. I am taking it in the hopes of gaining weight, but I haven't gained an ounce. Will keep taking it to see if anything changes.
