| Comments: | | The first day, you take 2 pills and then for the next four days you take 1 pill. The packaging is excellent and tells you exactly what pills to take and when to take them. As previously stated, no one in my family has experienced any side effects from taking this medication. We have taken both the Z-pak and the generic form. It works incredibly fast and has saved us from many vacation disasters! |
