I'm a bit confused about how to take the medication my doctor prescribed because he was too busy to explain, and the chemist's advice was different. They said to take Defcort 6 mg and Veloz Torrent before food once daily, but the chemist mentioned taking them twice daily after food or with food. Also, what are the side effects of Defcort 6 mg? Can you help me out with this?
