In some cases, Phexin Capsule 10's may cause common side-effects such as diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, stomach pain, and skin rashes. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
Before starting Phexin Capsule 10's, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic), kidney or liver problems.
