I call my pharmacist and he said to call my the doctor, but my doctor said that it wasn’t safe but I have to make a decision to come or not??? but I had went to emergency room! They charge me 1,000 just already and didn’t want to go back because their is another 1000. So that why I am reading to see if other people have done it

Yes...it means to take them all at the same time. It would say- take 1 (one) 20mg tablets po tid....which means take 1 tab, by mouth, three TIMES a day if he wanted you to take it at 3 separate times.

I was confused as well and had same question as the prescription said take 3 tablets once daily. I called pharmacist and he confirmed take all 3 tablets together at one time daily for 5 days. Also, was advised to take it with food.

Ladies, please be aware of long-term use. In my ignorance and the Dr. an *****, I now have severe osteoporosis. I have 2 failed spinal surgeries and need a total hip replacement, 2 new knees, and a new ankle. I spend my days in bed screaming in pain since the "epidemic". Don't only research thru the manufacturer, but outside sources.

Re: Noles (# 13)

Yes. My husband got some prescribed today. The bottle said "Take 3 tablets once a day every day." I was a bit shocked as most prescriptions I would get was a tier down method. Take 2 pills at breakfast, 2 pills after lunch,, 1 at Supper & 1 before you go to bed. The next day would be 1 after breakfast,, 1 after lunch, 1 a .supper, 1 before bed. Next day.. 1 at breakfast 1 at supper & 1 at bedtime., Next day, one at breakfast & 1 at dinber. And that would work great. My concern is the way it is prescribed that he is going to have a hard time on the 8th day when your body is expecting more. Withdrawal issues.

I have been given a script for 4 tabs daily for 4 days, 3 tabs daily for 3 days, 2 tabs daily for 2 days than 1 tab for 1 day.
I understand the last part but the first 7 days slow me up I had Gastric Sleeve done 2 years ago would all of of the tabs irritate my stomach?
