If you experience excessive sleepiness during the use of medications, which does not disappear during the course of therapy, I encourage you to consult your doctor again. Also, if you do not feel the effects, I encourage you to consult me.
You can also take advantage of teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
