This is an extremely low dose and you are very sensitive. This dose is not curative dose so unless a said helps you need to discuss with your doctor other options.

The dose is supposed to be 1-2 mg per kilogram of weight per day. Typically 60 mg or more for a period of 15-20 weeks. You need to reach a total dose of 150 mg per kilo of weight .
