One normally starts off daily with 2 x 500mg - one say with breakfast and the other with your evening meal. Some doctors start their patients with one tab per day for the first week I should add. The main side effects are usually metallic taste and an upset stomach. 99% patients' bodies adjust to them - believe me it is worth trying hard. I was ok with this regimen for 8 years but did suffer strange burning in the legs when my dose was increased by 1 x 500mg at lunchtime but am still experimenting in case it was Lasix (water tab) causing this.  I will keep my eye on your post.Good luck,Rob</blockquote>
