Also before taking this medicine, you should let your doctor know all the other medicines you are taking.
This medicine may cause few common side effects such as injection site reactions (pain, swelling, redness). It may also cause mood changes in some people. If any of these side effects bother you or if you experienced any symptoms which you feel are due to the use of this medicine, let your doctor know. It is important for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers to ask the advice of their doctors before taking this medicine.
