Hi,
If you are taking it for so many years liver damage must be ruled out by the investigations: SGPT, SGOT, ALT, S. Protein and S. billirubin levels. Other side effects can be alopecia or curling of hair.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Hiren Hirpara
