Those reactions sound like the usual warnings that manufacturers have to list even if it happened in less than 1% of the test patients.

Here are some more side effects:

Liver damage (yellowing of the skin or eyes, nausea, abdominal pain or discomfort, unusual bleeding or bruising, severe fatigue).

Blood problems (easy or unusual bleeding or bruising).


BUT they are for Tylenol. See what I mean.
