Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as flu-like symptoms, injection site reactions, or fatigue. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.

Common side effects include flu-like symptoms, injection site reactions, and fatigue. In rare cases, severe reactions such as depression or liver impairment may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before starting treatment.
