The most common Foundayo side effects affect the digestive system and are more likely when starting treatment or increasing the dose.
Very common side effects include:
- feeling sick (nausea)
- constipation
- diarrhoea
- being sick (vomiting)
- indigestion
- stomach pain
Other common side effects include:
- dizziness or headache
- bloating, burping, wind or reflux
- tiredness
- hair loss associated with weight reduction
- gallstones
- a fast pulse or low blood pressure
Most digestive side effects are mild to moderate and improve as your body adjusts. Eating smaller meals, avoiding very rich or greasy foods, drinking enough fluid and increasing the dose gradually may help.
Seek urgent medical advice if you experience persistent severe abdominal pain that may spread to your back, sudden or unusual changes to your vision, symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, severe constipation or symptoms of a bowel blockage such as severe abdominal pain, swelling and vomiting.
