Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | Don't believe that I took it long enough to really tell if it was working. I had an allergic reaction shortly after I started taking it. |

| Comments: | | I don't remember the details, but I did follow the prescription directions to the letter. Did not take more than was prescribed to me and took it in the prescribed manner. |
