It also aims to minimize the side effects that may occur. For example, in patients who are unconscious, vomiting continuously, swallowing disorders or diarrhea, can be given drugs in addition to per-oral drug.

How many times a day

Frequency of taking the drugs are basically following the pharmacological profiles such as chemical and biological properties of drugs, drug interactions with the body and the biological body to the drug treatment. All this of course was confirmed in a lengthy clinical trial process.

Drug levels in blood rapidly decreased due to pharmacological profile, requires giving a rather frequent intervals (2-3 times a day). The goal is that therapeutic effects could be maintained for 24 hours.
