Among other things, nausea, fever, cramps, cardiac arrhythmias, high blood pressure, breathing problems, sleepiness and a decrease in body temperature can occur.
In general, pay attention to careful dosage, especially for infants, small children and older people. If in doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist about any effects or precautions.
The dosage prescribed by the doctor may differ from the information in the package insert. Since the doctor adjusts it individually, you should therefore use the medicine according to his instructions.
