Brief Answer:
It depends upon the dose

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

It depends upon the dose of tablet or capsule (50 mg/ 100 mg) that you are taking. total safe dose is up to 400 mg per day. However, in cases of concomitant liver diseases, we tend to giver lower doses.
A prescription stating exact dosing is must from your doctor.

Thanks and regards
