Laboratory and/or medical tests (e.g., blood glucose/salt levels, blood counts, height/weight measurements, blood pressure, eye examinations, X-rays, bone density tests) may be performed regularly to monitor your progress or check for side effects if this medication is used for prolonged periods. Consult your doctor for more details.
