You may experience diarrhoea, feeling sick (nausea), may cause vomiting, indigestion, stomach-ache, wind, difficulty in swallowing, loss of appetite and skin rashes. If you missed a dose, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

Dosage and Administration

The usual dose is 250-500mg once a day, 7-14 days. It can be taken with or without food. Treatment for some infections may take 6 weeks or longer. If an upset stomach occurs, take with food.
