Hi,

It is not a typical reaction of these medications but persons react differently to medication. Before considering these medications, other causes should be considered such as anaemia, physical or emotional stress, autoimmune diseases etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
