You might feel better within hours or days of starting the treatment. The full effect is usually seen within 2 weeks.
Drinks containing caffeine (tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and cola) may make your symptoms worse. This is because caffeine is a natural diuretic and will make you want to pass urine frequently. If you drink a lot of caffeine, consider switching to decaffeinated alternatives.
If you are scheduled to undergo eye surgery due to a cataract or glaucoma, inform your eye doctor that you are taking this medicine.
Avoid the intake of excess fluid towards the bedtime since your sleep might get disturbed by the desire to get up and go to the toilet.
