OCL Oral Side Effects
Very watery bowel movements are expected with this medication.
Nausea, bloating, or feelings of fullness in the stomach/abdomen
are very common. Stomach/abdominal cramps, vomiting, and anal
irritation occur less often. If any of these effects persist or
worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
If severe bloating or abdominal pain occurs, wait longer (15-30
minutes) between each glass of the mixture, or temporarily stop
drinking the mixture until the symptoms improve.

serious side effects occur:
- vomit that is bloody or looks like coffee grounds

A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However,
seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a
serious allergic reaction, including:
