When should Bonzil be stopped?

Do not stop Bonzil without consulting your doctor. This medicine only helps to control your condition but does not cure it. Therefore, it may take several weeks to show benefits, so do not be discouraged if you do not see an improvement straight away. But, in case your condition starts worsening and you feel that it is no longer helping you, then you should consult a doctor before stopping it.

What if I take more than the prescribed dose of Bonzil?

Taking more than the recommended dose of Bonzil may cause vomiting, increased sweating or saliva production, slow heartbeat, dizziness, difficulty in breathing, seizures or fits, weakness, and inability to control your bowel motions or passing of urine (incontinence). You should seek immediate help from a doctor or emergency service of a nearby hospital.

Bonzil gets removed from the body very slowly. It takes about two weeks or more for Bonzil to be completely removed from the system.

Why is Bonzil taken at night?

Bonzil is recommended to be taken before going to bed to reduce gastrointestinal side effects or nausea, which is commonly seen in some patients in the first few weeks of treatment.

I have been taking indomethacin for arthritis. Can I take Bonzil?
