    Do you mean with no side effects? Or fewer side effects? Can't think of any.

    Would suggest trying an alternative treatment instead of rushing into prescription drugs. Alternative treatments for this condition are prevalent on the net. Just Google and you'll see. Most times the condition can be controlled through proper diet.
