Seek immediate medical attention if you experience a severe allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat). Common side effects are usually mild and temporary.
Common Side Effects
Many experience nausea, diarrhea, or stomach upset. These usually subside quickly. Some individuals report headaches or dizziness. Proper hydration can often alleviate these symptoms.
Less Common, But Important, Side Effects
While rarer, some medications can cause joint pain or inflammation. Report any persistent or worsening joint pain to your doctor. A small percentage of people experience changes in their sense of taste or smell; these are usually temporary.
