Warnings/Precautions
If after you have used Esgic for a certain period of time and you notice that it does not have the same effect as it had in the beginning, this can state that you are in danger of becoming dependent on the medicine. This doesn’t mean that you have to increase the dose so that you can feel a better effect.
