• It is therefore strongly recommended that all members of the family (except pregnant or breastfeeding women and children under two) are treated at the same time and that precautions are taken to prevent re-infection.
• Seek advice before using if you are breastfeeding, pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or suffer from allergies.
• If symptoms continue, tell your doctor.
• In case of re-infection, a second dose can be taken after two weeks.
• Keep out of the reach of children.

Taking other medicines

Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have an underlying medical condition, are taking any other medication or complementary therapy, or if symptoms persist.
