Guest guest Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi all, I think DS is getting side-effects from taking this medicine, he has been quite irritable on it, is having some major nose bleeds and has developed a dry cough, has anyone else experienced these when taking this medicine?....i'm not sure whether to persevere with it or not, as we are not seeing any other changes good/bad with taking it.....so i would love to hear others experiences with this.. tia, Nikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
