Hello, Stacey! How are you?
You should follow your doctor's prescribing instructions. Once someone is older than 12, medications are no longer prescribed according to body weight.
The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.
Is there anything else I can help with?
