How long can one take this for without becoming dependant it’s the only thing that has helped me a doctor recommended to me but they only said one week.. i have a partial blockage and this is the route they told me to go and I feel as if I didn’t get enough out of me within a single week

Hi, sorry for the very late response, I missed your comment!
I would always recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for any actual medical advice, as these videos are meant only for educational purposes! It is typically recommended to take it for only 1 week unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
