It may cause some common side effects like dizziness, dryness in the mouth, blurred vision, nausea, diarrhea, headache, and sleepiness. If you experience any of such side effects that do not go away or get worse, you should let your doctor know. Your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing the side effects. In general, you should try to use the smallest amount necessary to control your symptoms.

Before using the medicine, you should tell your doctor if you have any kidney or liver problems, or if you are taking any other medicines. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also consult their doctors before using the medicine.
