For routine use, take one cup of freshly drawn water, grind one pill into the water until it dissolves completely, and drink the mixture. If the patient wishes to drink water, allow them to do so; drinking plenty of water is beneficial.

If no sweat appears within about one hour after taking the dose, take another pill; continue until sweat appears and the delirium subsides.
