they say this is the best stuff and cost me a lot but this is nasty medicine the minor side effects come at first they are not that bad nausea headache but by the 2 to 3rd week shi7 hits the fan and you feel horrible pains muscle problems weak like and heart palpitations. And more went to the emergency room twice thought I was having heart attach and second had fear or kidney and liver failure. but I was okay no problems they even check for blood cots I didn't know this medication could do that.
