Volmax Oral Side Effects

Nervousness, shaking, headache, trouble sleeping, dizziness or nausea may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

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

Seek immediate medical attention if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur:

  • chest pain
  • irregular heartbeat


Rarely, this medication has caused severe (rarely fatal), sudden worsening of breathing problems/asthma (paradoxical bronchospasm). If you experience sudden wheezing, seek immediate medical attention.
