And dont take within 2 hours of an antacid or iron or zink vitamins.

Dosage depends on many things, including your size and your body's reaction to meds.

I can't tolerate 500 mg once a day so I take 250 mg twice a day. It also took me a month to ramp up to that doseage. Everyone's different so you have to listen to your body

Good Luck!....Terri
