This medication has relatively numerous side effects. Commonly observed adverse reactions include allergic symptoms such as pruritus (itching) and urticaria (hives); in severe cases, dyspnea (difficulty breathing) may occur. However, individual responses vary depending on one’s constitution, and thus the specific side effects experienced may differ. Other possible side effects include dizziness, irritability, restlessness, decreased attention, and gastrointestinal dysfunction—such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
