Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Any drug over a prolonged use is tolerated by our body. It's therapeutic use is limited by this property.
The only way one can get over is to shift to a different drug. Or increase the dose, which is not advisable as it would eventually produce tolerance and may lead to adverse effect. Therefore, shifting to a safer substitute is suggestible.
Here I need to know how much tablets and the doses of each tabs are you taking.
Since how long and at what time of the day you are using it?
For what purpose are you using it?
