Mild side effects.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM.
I understand your concern and situation.


Nothing to worry these are less serious side effects. Continue the treatment as recommended. The drug may cause dizziness, tired feeling, mild headache, nervous feeling and sleep problems (insomnia). These are not very serious. Take the drug after meals.


Take care
