Limbitrol (Cont.)

When and How to Take Limbitrol

General considerations for when and how to take Limbitrol include the following:
 
  • The medication comes in tablet form. It is taken by mouth, usually one to four times daily.
     
  • Limbitrol can be taken with or without food. It the medication bothers your stomach, try taking it with food.
     
  • Limbitrol should be taken at the same time(s) each day to maintain an even level in your blood.
     
  • For the medication to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. Limbitrol may cause serious problems if you take it at higher dosages or for a longer period of time than your healthcare provider recommends (see Limbitrol Addiction).
