MAINTAIN HYDRATION AVOID FAST FOOD AVOID ALCOHOL AVOID FATTY MEAL

• Take 1 tablet (500 mg) per day — this is safe and common for short-term use during a cold/URI. • If your doctor advised more (e.g., 1000 mg/day), you can take 2 tablets per day (split doses), but do not exceed 2000 mg total per day without advice (higher can cause stomach upset, diarrhea, or rarely kidney stones). • Take for 5–7 days during symptoms, then stop or reduce to 1/day if needed. • Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have kidney problems, gout, or take other medicines — they can confirm safe dose for you.

• Gap between tablets: If taking 2 per day, space them at least 4–6 hours apart (e.g., one in morning, one in evening) — this helps better absorption and reduces stomach irritation. • Take with food or after meals to avoid acidity/upset stomach. • Drink plenty of water — vitamin C is water-soluble and excess comes out in urine. • Get vitamin C from food too: oranges, lemons, guava, kiwi, bell peppers — natural sources help recovery. • Rest, stay hydrated, and use steam/saline nasal drops for your URI — these help more than vitamin C alone. If symptoms worsen (high fever, bad cough, breathing issues), see a doctor soon. For personalized advice (based on your age, other meds, or full symptoms), please consult with me online. Take care and get well soon!
