In some cases, you may experience side effects such as nausea, dizziness, headache, vomiting, dry mouth, drowsiness, constipation, sweating or tiredness. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
