Effects

If you experience any side effects from a medication, prescription, or drug, it's important to take action promptly. Start by reviewing the medication's instructions or package insert for any common side effects. If the side effects are mild, you may want to monitor them and contact your healthcare provider for advice. For more severe reactions, such as difficulty breathing, swelling, or severe dizziness, seek medical help immediately. Always inform your doctor about any side effects you're experiencing, as they may adjust your dosage or suggest an alternative treatment. Never stop taking a prescribed medication without consulting your healthcare provider.
