Mentat Tablets. Tablets in long run?

Better to follow your physician’s advice. Though it is mentioned as 2 tablets twice daily, physicians can prescribe according to your health condition. Along with that you can have Saraswatharista 20ml twice daily with equal quantity of water after food. Take shirodhara treatment with Brahmi taila

But please don't increase the dose on your own.
