This bioflu from Unilab here in the Philippines. How often are you supposed to take it?

I do not have packaging, the maid who bought it did not ask mercury drug. The damn website does not have info. Do I take it twice, 3x or 4x a day? I am an adult 180 lbs. with flu.

    Usual adult dosage 1 tab every 6 hours

    Special Precautions: Heart disease, high BP, toxic goiter, benign prostatic hypertorphy.

    (mainly it is just paracetamol, so it isnt that 'risky' though paracetamol can still cause liver problems)

    Drink a lot of water. Get well soon.

    edit: arggh Pedro that was a good job hehehe

    bioflu is paracetamol..go google about paracetamol. Dosing frequency actually varies.. Some take it on as needed basis. Those with recurrent fever take it every 6hrs. some MD's even orders every 4hours for worst cases (particulary confined patients), while others take it every 8 hours. It actually varies depending on the need for anti-pyretic medications...
