A:  Okay, you should take 1 capsule 3 times a day. Be sure not to take it on an empty stomach, and also, don't ever mix it with alcohol! B:  Yes, I know. It's not the first time I'm taking this! Don't worry, I won't overdose! A:  Okay, anything else I can get you? B:  Oh, yes, I almost forgot! Can I also get some eye drops and um, some condoms? A:  Sure.
