This medication comes in powder form that needs to be mixed with water and needs to be taken in two separate doses either in one day or two days depending on the dosing regimen. It should be taken without food.

Common side effects of Plenvu include nausea, vomiting, water loss, and stomach pain/discomfort. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how Plenvu affects you.
