Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as nausea, fever, or decreased blood cell counts. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.

Common side effects include nausea, fever, and decreased blood cell counts. In rare cases, severe reactions such as liver failure or severe infections may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before use.
