Side Effects

Common Side Effects

REDACT, like all medications, may cause side effects. In studies the most common side effects were:

- headache

- dry mouth

- constipation

- and insomnia (inability to fall asleep)

Other Side Effects

Other side effects that may occur include:

increased sweating

an increase in blood pressure

increase in heart rate

These side effects are generally mild, and have usually not caused people to stop taking REDACT. If you develop a symptom that you think might be a side effect, stop taking REDACT and notify your doctor immediately so he or she can advise you on what to do.

Precaution

Certain weight-loss drugs have been associated with pulmonary hypertension (PPH), a rare but sometimes fatal disease. In clinical studies, no cases of PPH have been reported with REDACT. Because this disease is so rare, however, it is not known whether or not REDACT may cause this disease.

The first symptom of PPH is usually shortness of breath. If you experience new or worsening shortness of breath, or if you experience chest pain, fainting, or swelling of your feet, ankles, or legs, stop taking REDACT, and notify your doctor immediately.
