Actual low dosage of Prisolec;should take higher dose

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

As you are taking Prisolec at 20.6 mg/ that is a low dosage. To my opinion, considering your actual symptoms, you should be take a higher dosage to up to 40 mg twice daily for at least 4 weeks. Discuss this further with your doctor.

Wish fast recovery!
