Possible side effects
If you experience an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives) to tegaserod, stop taking this medication and seek emergency medical attention. Stop taking tegaserod and contact your doctor if you experience new or increased stomach pain or blood in your stool. Diarrhea is an occasional side effect of tegaserod. Most often, diarrhea has been reported during the first week of starting tegaserod. Typically, diarrhea diminishes with continued therapy. If severe diarrhea, or diarrhea together with bad cramping, abdominal pain, lightheadedness, fainting, or dizziness develops, stop taking tegaserod and contact your doctor. In studies, patients receiving tegaserod had more abdominal surgery than patients receiving sugar pills. However, it is not known if tegaserod will increase the risk of abdominal surgery. If you suddenly get different or worse abdominal pain, contact your doctor.
Other less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take tegaserod and talk to your doctor if you experience
- headache, dizziness or migraine;
- back pain or joint pain; or
- abdominal pain, nausea or flatulence (gas)
- Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
