A. As a correct approach, it is advisable to get a consultation done with your nearby doctor once before starting any kind of medicine, for knowing about the proper indication,dosage of the medicine and duration upto which dose needs to given in a proper way. Self medication may be harmful and may not resolve the prg problem for a long time.
