2. The backing should be carefully peeled off.
3. The tablet should be gently pushed out.
4. The tablet should be put in the mouth. It will dissolve directly in the mouth, so that it can be easily swallowed.
The tablet can also be placed in a full glass or cup of water, orange juice, apple juice, milk or coffee. This mixture should be stirred. With some drinks, the mixture may change colour and possibly become cloudy. It should be consumed straight away.
Forgotten intake of ZYLANZA: The tablets should be taken as soon as they are remembered. Two doses should not be taken in one day.
