There are several options, however, you must first evaluate if it is an undesirable effect of the product or if it is a symptom of your condition

To this effect, I strongly suggest that you redirect your question to your pharmacist who will be able to evaluate the situation more thoroughly and suggest alternatives to your doctor while ensuring a close follow-up with you.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
