"I had a good effect, and the first tab in the morning had partial relief. Then, one in the morning and evening still sometimes I had problems. Then I started the 3rd tablet after two to three months, now one and a half tabs is okay with no driving, but with driving for 5 hours, the effect reduces drastically of the medicine."
