Potential Side Effects: Recognizing and Managing Risks

Report any unusual symptoms to your doctor immediately. Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, and headache. These usually resolve on their own, but persistent or worsening symptoms warrant medical attention.

Serious but less frequent side effects include tendon rupture, allergic reactions (such as swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing), and damage to peripheral nerves (causing numbness or tingling). Seek immediate medical help if you experience any of these.
