DynaCirc CR 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.

An empty tablet shell may appear in your stool. This is harmless since your body has already absorbed the medication.

Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

shortness of breath
persistent tiredness
fast/irregular/very slow heartbeat
