Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question, I understand your concern.
There is no such side effects of alternative day dosing.
But if you take alternative day, then it would be less effective in treating your condition.

I hope your query is clear now.
Thanks and regards
