Noctec Oral Side Effects

Stomach irritation, nausea, vomiting, bad taste in the mouth, and diarrhea may occur. Unwanted sleepiness and trouble waking up in the morning may occur. Less common side effects may include gas, persistent tiredness, headache, and nightmares. Stomach irritation can be reduced by taking chloral hydrate with a full glass of water. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
