this^^..i am on 300, and one thing i questioned:
is it more liver friendly to split the pills and take half in the morning half at dinner? doc said it made no difference.. not so sure about that..but i am no doc.
i am not ambitious enough to try it. splitting pills is just that tiny extra step that makes it feel like a chore.
600 mg, jacked up my ALT levels. my liver sent out a SOS right away.
