Important Notes:
This medication should always be used under the supervision and prescription of a healthcare professional. Self-medication can be dangerous and lead to antibiotic resistance.
It's vital to complete the full prescribed course of treatment, even if you start feeling better, to ensure the infection is completely eradicated and prevent the development of resistance.
Be aware of potential side effects like nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and headache.
Inform your doctor about any existing health conditions or other medications you are taking, as this combination may have interactions.
