Troubleshooting

Experiencing signs of an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, swelling of face/lips/tongue).

These are common and generally harmless side effects. If they are severe or concerning, consult a doctor.

Discontinue use and consult your doctor or a healthcare professional, as prolonged use increases the chance of side effects and may indicate a more serious condition.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist for further guidance, especially if you have existing medical conditions or are taking other medications.
