Itchy skin?
Burning eyes?
Sleepless nights?
Awkward spots?

Not all side effects are obvious. They can range from a skin rash, headache or upset stomach to changes in sleep, mood or other unexpected symptoms.

Some side effects appear soon after starting a medicine; others may develop after prolonged use, a change in dose, taking several medicines together or even after treatment has stopped.

If your medicine is making you feel worse, tell your doctor! Help make medicines safer for everyone! bit.ly/4ktzgYr
