This medicine is intended for adults only. Take as indicated by your doctor. Take with food, with the first meal of the day. Take the tablet whole. Do not break, crush or chew. It is important to follow the diet and exercise plan set by your doctor. The usual starting dose is one 1 mg tablet once a day with breakfast. Your doctor might increase it gradually to a maximum of 8 mg daily. Doses may be changed in special conditions so always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions. If you take more than you should, talk to a doctor or go to the hospital straight away. If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember it unless it is nearly time for your next dose. Do not take a double dose (two doses at the same time) to make up for the forgotten dose.
