    Sickness lasts about a week though my gp said can be two weeks. Things should start to improve by then

    Not long, this type of med should be taken in the morning, but for a few it seems to work more so if taken at night, strange but hey ho..

      Try taking the pill with food as this helps with the heartburn

      That's a pity but my experience is that making yourself eat something at least is best even if u don't feel like it
