Comment:
Very painfully side effects. Ended up in the Hospital ER. They could do nothing but tell me it would take 7-10 business days to get through my system. Would not recommend this drug for treatment. Now I have to meet with a specialist to further figure out what to do next.

I discontinued it as it caused stomach ulcers, even tho I followed all the directions. Because of bleeding, it also lowered my red blood count.
