Less distressing and problematic side effects

It is essential to contact us your GP (or any other medical practitioner) as soon as possible. Your healthcare provider may assist until we assess the current situation and work with your GP to address these problems. 

If it is not critical, suspend the medication until such review.

Please let us know via VoixBot about these problems and schedule a call. We can only respond within working hours and will endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible. 

We may suggest changing the medication's dosage, switching to a different medication, or discontinuing the medication altogether. Let's work out these decisions together and address these problems in the most comfortable way for you. 

Let other people around you know about these difficulties, so you can rely on their support if more urgent medical care is required. 

It is critical to follow their instructions and not adjust your medication on your own.
