Hence, follow your doctor's advice while on treatment with this medicine. The most side effects of this medicine include vomiting, headache, and nausea. If these bother you or appear serious, let your doctor know. There may be ways of reducing or preventing them. Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have ever had surgery of the uterus, or cesarean section or have a history of premature labor.
