Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 This may be helpful. Now that my memory has been jogged - I recall that I HAD asked the pharmacist about the liquid a while back. He looked at the dosage I was prescribed and said it wouldn't be feasible- it would be a LOT to drink. (I didn't get any idea of the amount of liquid he was considering it to be). In pill form it's 18 pills a day. (By your calculations - that would be almost 12 tsp a day). Doesn't sound like a horrible amount (unless the taste is really intolerable). The pharmacy has been filling my script with the generic brand since it became available (but that hasn't made a difference).
