This medication contains lactose, so individuals with a genetic disorder that impairs lactose digestion should not use it. Patients should be cautious about serious side effects when taking this medication. Rapid allergic reactions, such as anaphylaxis, may occur, so if symptoms such as low blood pressure, difficulty breathing, or hives appear, the administration of the medication should be stopped immediately and medical attention sought.

Gastrointestinal side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and increased salivation.

Additionally, chest or back pain and fatigue may present, so any abnormal symptoms should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
