This may increase gradually until your condition is stable. This medicine may take several weeks to work but it is important to take it regularly to get the benefit.

Most side effects wear off, but if they bother you or do not go away, tell your doctor. There may be ways of preventing or reducing these effects. Long-term treatment can cause weakness in your bones (osteoporosis), increasing your risk of breaking a bone.
