If once daily: if you took a pill for the first time at 5 pm, then the next day at 5 pm you have to take the next one. Be sure to drink the tablets with water (at least half a glass), water should be cool and clean. Only in this case it would help you to swallow the pill and will have no effect on its ingredients. Ask your physician where you can buy the Furadantin, the professional is able to advice you the most reliable USA drugstore, or purchase Furadantin online.
