💊 Side Effects: What’s Normal & When to Act
Noticing side effects from medication can feel worrying — but not all side effects mean you need to stop treatment. Here’s a quick guide:
✔️ Normal & Temporary: Mild nausea, slight drowsiness, or a dry mouth often settle as your body adjusts.
🔄 Needs Adjusting: Persistent headaches, ongoing stomach upset, or sleep disturbances may require a dosage or medication change; chat with your pharmacist.
⚠️ See a Doctor: Severe allergic reactions, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or sudden mood changes should never be ignored.
