I fixed the error. I don't think [[User:Mnbvcxz]] meant to do that, their description is a minor edit that only fixes bolding and he reversed two different edits in one. [[User:Uzi|Uzi]] ([[User talk:Uzi|talk]]) 03:32, 8 June 2024 (UTC)


So [[User:JH556|JH556]], I ''guess'' the relative safety has something to do with it being extended-release. I don't know how much safety margin goes into the "space doses at least 8hrs apart" disclaimer, but it has to be... decent enough?
