Side effects may include dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, blurred vision, or allergic reactions. In rare cases, it can cause severe reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome or bone marrow suppression. It is contraindicated in cases of hypersensitivity to the substance or when combined with certain medications.
