inprovement in the pain. Judging by the side effects on this site should I be taking these
tablets?

Hello
No you should not be using this as all
This was supposedly removed from the market world wide after the world health organization issued warnings>

There is a high incidence of Stevens Johnson syndrome with this medication and this can lead to shedding of the skin and life threatening complications.
don't take it
There are many medication choices
This is not worth the risk
good luck
