Tolinase Oral Side Effects

Stomach cramps, bloating, heartburn, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or weight gain may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur:

• sun sensitivity
• skin changes (e.g., darkening, thickening)
• unusual fatigue
• fast/pounding heartbeat
• easy bruising/bleeding
• mental/mood changes
• sudden weight gain
• swelling of the hands/feet
• muscle weakness/spasm

Tell your doctor immediately if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur:

• yellowing eyes or skin
• persistent nausea/vomiting
• severe stomach/abdominal pain
• dark urine
• signs of infection (e.g., fever, persistent sore throat)
• seizures

This medication can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). This effect may occur if you do not consume enough calories (from food, juices, fruit, etc.). The symptoms include chills, cold sweat, blurred vision, dizziness, drowsiness, shaking, rapid heart rate, weakness, headache, fainting, tingling of the hands or feet, or hunger. It is a good habit to carry glucose tablets or gel to treat low blood sugar. If you are in a situation where you don't have these reliable forms of glucose, eat a quick source of sugar such as table sugar, honey, or candy, or drink a glass of orange juice or non-diet soda to quickly raise your blood sugar level. Tell your doctor immediately about the reaction. To help prevent hypoglycemia, eat meals on a regular schedule and do not skip meals. Closely monitor your blood sugar levels for at least 1-2 days after an episode of hypoglycemia.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist about what you should do if you miss a meal.

Symptoms of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) include thirst, increased urination, confusion, drowsiness, flushing, rapid breathing, or fruity breath odor. If these symptoms occur, tell your doctor immediately. Your medication dosage may need to be increased.
