Saquinavir interactions with Seldane, Hismanal, and Propulsid may rarely cause heart problems, so other drugs should be substituted by the doctor. Be sure to check with your doctor or pharmacist about what side effects of these medications can occur. Not everyone has side effects. When they do occur, they may be mild, moderate, or severe. Some side effects cannot be felt by the patient, but can be found through laboratory tests, so it is important to see the doctor regularly for checkups.
Most people taking saquinavir have mild side effects.
Some people taking protease inhibitors have had problems with their blood sugar levels, or have developed diabetes. Symptoms, such as increased thirst, hunger, urination, or weight loss should be reported to the doctor immediately. Some people with hemophilia type A or B have reported increased bleeding problems. It is not known whether this is related to saquinavir, but these problems should be reported to the doctor immediately so they can be treated.
