Tell your doctor straight away if you get any serious side effects, including seizures (fits).
Before using Anfoe Injection you should tell your doctor if you have uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease, or gout (disease of joint pain). You should also tell him/her what other medicines you are taking in case they affect this treatment. The doctor may monitor your blood pressure regularly while on treatment with this medicine.
