There are no real best times, you should just remain consistent and be sure take them as close to 6 hours apart as possible. So, for example, 9am, 3pm, 9pm, and 3am, or whatever times are appropriate.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash.

Is there anything else I can help with?
