Follow the directions that came with them. Most are safe after seven days.

7 is the magic number.

Read the instructions that they give you o:

that would be a good idea but she cant find the box or instuctions as she was hiding them from her mother. we thought 7, so... thanks 4 the help.

On the Web, you can find package isert information (prescribing instructions, side effects, notes, etc.) for practially any drug, if you know it name.
