Hello,

There are some side effects related to the prolonged use of Pacitane. One of the common side effects ca be dry mouth. Frequent mouth rinses, good oral hygiene, increased water intake and sugarless candy may help.

It may cause dry eyes. Avoid wearing contact lenses and use artificial tears.

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