Brief Answer:
NO immediate short term side effect except when used for ling periods!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

There is no acute overdose toxicity form this drug. It only has potential consequences when used for long as it leads to thinning of the skin, slow wound healing and easy bleeding. Otherwise, there is no acute toxicity. When taken orally for long, it is advised not to stop abruptly.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.

Hi,

This drug is known to cause fluid retention. However, this will regress as soon as the effects of the drug are washed away. This would normally take a few months.

I wish you well.
