Neurological side effects such as movement disorders, anxiety, and abnormal movements of the tongue may occur rarely, and if these symptoms present, the use should be stopped immediately.

Cardiac-related side effects such as high blood pressure or arrhythmia require caution. Rarely, a serious adverse effect known as neuroleptic malignant syndrome may occur, accompanied by high fever, muscle rigidity, changes in consciousness, and requires immediate treatment.
