• Articular pain (joint pain)

These reactions are generally spontaneously reversible after treatment withdrawal. In case of gastrointestinal disorders, reduce the dose or temporarily withdraw treatment. In case of skin reactions, fever, articular pain, or changes in blood formula, stop treatment and inform your physician.

If symptoms such as high fever, oral cavity infections (tonsillitis), sore throat, anogenital inflammation, or accompanying symptoms occur, the patient must immediately inform their physician. Blood formula and leucogram should be checked without delay and treatment discontinued.
- Severe renal insufficiency (dialysis): Dosage should be reduced.
