I was just wondering how long it takes for the body to adjust. I am suffering from sore throat swollen neck glands and sinus issues.

Hello, Liz! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems you're experiencing.

It can take about 4 to 5 weeks for your body to get used to the medication and for the side effects to taper off, before going away entirely. As reported by the FDA, you may also experience nausea, headache, dizziness and increased urination.

If there is no improvement after that time frame, you should consult your prescriber, as it may not be the right medication for you to take.

Is there anything else I can help with?
