The most common side effects are taste change, nosebleeds, and headaches. Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time. Contact your doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any of these side effects.
Never support self-medication or recommend your medicine to another person. It is beneficial to have plenty of fluids while taking this medication.
