These snails grow up to 10 mm per month. After 6 months, the Achatina fulica is about 35 mm long and may already be sexually mature. Sexual maturity takes 6 to 16 months, depending on the weather and the availability of calcium. This snail lives 5 or 6 years, sometimes as many as 9 years.
How to Use the Dose Pack. A Medrol Dose Pack contains 21 4-milligram pills that last for six days. The patient starts with six pills (24 milligrams) and takes one fewer each day, until the pack is finished. The pills are taken orally with a full glass of water before breakfast, after lunch, after dinner and at bedtime (according to the day).
The activated capsules are roughly twice as potent as the tablets. Drug stores or health food stores often carry charcoal. The oral dosage is 1 tablespoon of powder stirred into a glass of water, 4 capsules of activated charcoal, or 8 regular tablets taken in the mid-morning and repeated in the mid-afternoon.
