Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Take half the dose. Take multiple servings of light nutritious diet. Mostly your body will accept it &then gradually raise the dise (3/4th dose &then full dose with a weeks gap)
In case the side effects persist or your basic propblem increases consult treating doctor for change of molecule.
Thanks.
