When starting a new medication, it’s common to experience some side effects as your body adjusts to the treatment. These side effects can range from mild to severe and may vary depending on the type of medication and individual factors.
Fortunately, many side effects typically resolve on their own within a few days as your body becomes accustomed to the medication. This adjustment period is often referred to as the “initial titration phase.”
Your clinician will provide you with separate information about how the medication works and the specific side effects to watch out for. Understanding how the medication functions can help you better manage your treatment and anticipate potential side effects.
Additionally, this information will explain the signs of more serious side effects that may require immediate medical attention. While most side effects are temporary and mild, some may indicate a more serious reaction or an interaction with other medications.
