Prevalite (Cont.)

What If I Take an Overdose of Prevalite?

Since Prevalite does not get absorbed into the body, there is little risk for toxic effects. However, if you happen to overdose on the medication, you should still seek medical attention.
 

How Should Prevalite Be Stored?

Prevalite should be stored at room temperature in a tightly closed container. It should be protected from light and moisture.
 
Keep Prevalite and all medications out of the reach of children.
 

What Should I Do If I Miss a Dose of Prevalite?

If you forget to take a dose of Prevalite, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your normal dosing schedule. Never double your dose of Prevalite at one time.
