DynaCirc Oral Side Effects

Dizziness, nausea, headache, tiredness, flushing and constipation may occur as your body adjusts to the medication. Other side effects may include swelling of the ankles/feet. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly. To minimize dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a seated or lying position.

To prevent constipation, maintain a diet adequate in fiber, drink plenty of water, and exercise. If you become constipated while using this drug, consult your pharmacist for help in selecting a stool softener.
