 [ Symptoms ] what is an hla b27 blood test for [ Disease ] this is actually a side effect of the medication working and drowsiness will actually continue as long as you are taking the medicine it will not subside so i would advise the patient to let the physician know if it becomes really bothersome they feel that they can not go to work there is actually a lower shrunk of this medication that is available so the physician or healthcare provider may want to consider decreasing the dose and basically seeing if that helps the patient better with the drowsiness side effect but once again if the patient comes into the pharmacy and says to me you know i feel like i am really tired of this medication and i have to take it a lot of time four times a day is really complicated for a medication i might be able to say you know let is call your doctor and let is see if we can get them down to a lower dose and if the doctor approves it then we can try that instead but coming to the pharmacy asking us that is what we are here for we are the medication experts
