Side Effects

As with all medications, you may experience some side effects. Not everyone experiences it. This is not a cause for concern. However, it is so that you are aware of it.

Many side effects do not need immediate medical attention and resolve as the body responds to the medicine. Tell the doctor if they continue or if you are concerned about them.

The most common adverse effect of taking this medicine is headache. This is typically mild and decreases with time. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is a potential side effect if you also take other medications such as insulin or sulfonylurea, so you need to know how to identify and manage it. It can also induce upper respiratory tract infections such as sore throat, cough, and cold.
