Rapaflo

When and How to Take Rapaflo

Some general considerations include the following:
 
  • Rapaflo comes in capsule form. It is usually taken by mouth once a day with a meal.
     
  • Be sure to take Rapaflo with the same meal each day. Also, do not take it on an empty stomach, as this could increase the level of the medication in your blood too much.
     
  • For the medication to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. It will not work if you stop taking it.
     

Dosing Information

The dosage that your healthcare provider recommends will vary depending on a number of factors, including:
 
  • Other medical conditions you may have
  • Other medications you may currently be taking.
     
As is always the case with any medication, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
