These symptoms usually occur at the beginning of treatment and often resolve naturally over time.

This medication has relatively fewer interactions with other drugs, but caution is required when taken with certain medications. In particular, taking it with drugs that prolong the QTc interval may affect the heart, so caution is warranted.
