As the Prescribing Information does not include all adverse reactions that have been reported or that may occur, please consult with your doctor/healthcare provider about what you have experienced/are experiencing. Because your doctor/healthcare provider was most familiar with your medical condition, clinical history, how your treatment has been conducted and any relevant information to your specific case, your doctor/healthcare provider was in the best position to advise you about the appropriate action to take.
