Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Im sure the tablets would be suggested by a doctor. And im also sure that a doctor would know what he is doing. And if he is saying that you need to take it, then he would have said for your own good .
Yes it is safe and good.
Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
