Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If she has had these symptoms since she started this drug, symptoms may be side effects. However, if symptoms just started, it will be less likely to be side effects. If symptoms have persisted since she started the drug, a different drug or treatment option to her condition should be tried. If not the case, the doctor may investigate the cause of symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mbuomboh Veranso
