Brief Answer: no lactose Detailed Answer: it does not contain any lactose ingredients, so this should not be the cause of your reaction. Keep in mind that this medication can cause multiple side effects, such as: - fatigue, nausea, hot flashes (>10% of patients) - dizziness, headache, vomiting, abdominal pain, shortness of breath, cough, constipation, diarrhea (3 - 10% of patients) - very rarely it causes cardiac failure, gastric ulcers, hepatits. hope that helped. If you are having worsening symptoms don't hesitate to go to your nearest healthcare facility.
