For common side effects such as stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite:

  1. Rest and drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.
  2. Consider taking over-the-counter medications like antacids or anti-nausea drugs for symptom relief.
  3. Eat smaller, more frequent meals to ease discomfort.
  4. Applying a heating pad to your stomach can help alleviate cramps or pain.

If these common side effects persist or worsen, it's advisable to speak to your doctor or pharmacist for guidance.

For serious side effects, seek medical attention immediately. These include:

  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Easy bruising or bleeding
  • Fever or sore throat (signs of infection)
  • Extreme fatigue
  • Seizures
  • Weakness
  • Dark or pinkish urine
  • Yellowing of the eyes or skin (indicative of liver problems)
  • Rash, hives, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue
  • Difficulty breathing (indicative of a severe allergic reaction)

In emergency situations, such as seizures or severe swelling of the throat or tongue, call emergency services (911) without delay.

It's important to follow all dosage instructions carefully and promptly report any concerning symptoms to your doctor for proper management.
