• A: Be sure to tell your doctor about any health conditions you have had, as well as any new symptoms that arise. Call your doctor immediately if you have any of the following: new or worsening shortness of breath; cough; swelling of the ankles or legs; swelling of the face; heartbeats that are unusually strong, fast, slow, or irregular in rhythm; weight gain of more than 5 pounds in 24 hours; dizziness; or loss of consciousness. Individual patients may experience different side effects. If you have questions or health concerns, please talk to your doctor or nurse.
