Dry/irritated throat, hoarseness, or coughing may occur as your body adjusts to the medication. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell 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 right away if you have any serious side effects, including: white patches in your mouth or on your tongue, signs of infection (such as fever, chills, persistent sore throat), mental/mood changes (such as depression, mood swings, agitation), vision problems, increased thirst/urination, easy bruising/bleeding, bone pain.
Infrequently, this medication may cause sudden severe wheezing/trouble breathing immediately after you use it. If this occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler and get medical help right away.
