4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side
effects, although not everybody gets them.

hospital straight away if:
 You have swelling, pain or redness in your legs as
this could be a sign of a blood clot (deep vein
thrombosis)

travelled through blood vessels to the lungs
(pulmonary embolism)
 You have an allergic reaction. The signs may
include: rash, itching, fever, difficulty in breathing
or wheezing, chills, swelling
 You have yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice).
These could be signs of liver damage
 You have frequent infections such as fever, severe
chills, sore throat or mouth ulcers. These could be
signs of a blood problem called ‘leucopenia’

This could be because of a blood disorder
(agranulocytosis)
 You have movements that you cannot control,
mainly of the tongue, mouth, jaw, arms and legs
 You have a high temperature, sweating, stiff
muscles, fast heart beat, fast breathing and feel
confused, drowsy or agitated. These could be
signs of a serious but rare side effect called

(palpitations). You may also have breathing
problems such as wheezing, shortness of breath,
tightness in the chest and chest pain
