It helps to drink a large amount of water with the pill. Best when taken first thing in the morning. Remember to stay hydrated on this med, I can become dehydrated on it.

This medication has worked very well for me. They even seem to be making the packaging better so that it is not as hard to remove the tablets.

The medication works well for me, but the packaging is terrible. I have a hard time opening the tablet and when I do sometimes it is in pieces. Better packaging would help!

I hate the package. Can't get it open without scissors and then usually damage the pill. Artritis in my hands, but don't have this much trouble with most foil packages.

Getting the pill out of the foil package according to directions is difficult.

I was given this after I developed a cough on the ace inhibitor. I like this much better.
