Talk to your doctor about any health conditions that may create an unwanted reaction to the medication. Your doctor should know if you are allergic to Virlix or its ingredients.
If you have had kidney failure or a liver disorder, your doctor may have to adjust the dose, or you should have special monitoring while taking this medication. Vortex has not been found to have any harmful effects on the unborn baby. However, your pregnancy should be discussed with your doctor.
This is also true for breastfeeding mothers since the drug can be excreted in breast milk. Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding before you start taking this medicine. Special precautions must be taken for adults 65 years of age or older.
As you get older, your body’s less resistance can increase your risks of side effects. Your doctor will make the necessary dose adjustments applicable to your case.
Once the proper dosage is determined, strictly follow to benefit from the effects of the medication. It is available in chewable form, liquid suspension, and tablet and is taken orally. Chews should be chewed thoroughly before swallowing.
The liquid suspension must be thoroughly shaken and measured with a special measuring spoon. Do not use a regular spoonful since a measuring spoon is much more accurate. Take the tablet with a glass of water and swallow the entire pill.
Crushing it will make its bitter taste even more challenging, so it is best to swallow the entire tablet. Vortex can be taken on an empty stomach. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue with your regular diet.
