- Diarrhoea
- Upper respiratory infection
Get medical help straight away if
- Mood or behaviour changes, bad dreams, agitation, depression or suicidal thoughts (stop and tell your doctor)

Be careful
Can rarely cause mood changes or bad dreams; tell your doctor if this happens.
Other medicines and interactions
Phenobarbital and rifampicin can lower its level. Otherwise few interactions.

May be continued in pregnancy if it controls asthma well; uncontrolled asthma is a bigger risk. Ask your doctor about breastfeeding.
