Well, I'm not really sure exactly how but I am allergic. When I was younger i was prescribed a 600 MG dosage. The next morning i woke up with a rash all over me similar to the chicken pox. I went to the doctor and he said it was an allergic reaction. possibly my immune response had something to do with the rash all over my body.
