You can take this medicine with or without food, but for the best results, take it at the same time each day. It usually takes a couple of weeks to work. It is important to take this medicine regularly and for as long as you are advised, even if you feel well. Missing doses may trigger seizures, and if you stop, your condition may get worse. It should never be stopped suddenly.

The most common side effects of Tikoprex 500 Tablet ER include headache, constipation, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weight gain, rash, back pain, and abdominal pain. Most of these are not serious. Continue taking the medicine, but consult your doctor if these side effects persist or become bothersome. However, if you notice a skin rash or redness, tell your doctor straight away. Long-term treatment with this medicine can cause osteoporosis (reduced bone mass) and increase your risk of breaking a bone. Also, Tikoprex 500 Tablet ER may rarely lead to suicidal thoughts and behaviors. If your mood becomes depressed, tell your doctor.

Tikoprex 500 Tablet ER may not be suitable for everybody. Before using it, tell your doctor if you have ever had heart problems, kidney or liver disease, difficulty urinating, depression, or suicidal thoughts. Some medicines can interfere with it and should not be taken together, so tell your doctor about all the medicines you are taking to make sure it is safe for you. If you are pregnant, do not take this medicine without asking your doctor. Avoid drinking alcohol, as it may enhance certain side effects and increase the risk of seizures. You may need frequent blood tests to help your doctor make sure you are taking the right dose both before you start and while you are using it.
