Take it according to the instructions your doctor gave you.
Following the prescribed dose and schedule reduces risk of misuse, side effects, dependence, or overdose. Do not take extra doses whenever you feel pain or save/share leftover pills — if you have unused medication, return it to a pharmacy take-back program or follow local disposal guidelines.
