Herpevex Side Effects

Gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pains have been reported.
Haematological: very rarely, anaemia, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia.
Hypersensitivity and skin: rashes including photosensitivity, urticaria, pruritis and rarely dyspnoea, angioedema and anaphylaxis.
Kidney: rare reports of increases in blood urea and creatinine. Acute renal failure has been reported on very rare occasions.
Liver: rare reports of reversible rises in bilirubin and liver related enzymes. Hepatitis and jaundice have been reported on very rare occasions.
Neurological: headaches. Occasionally, reversible neurological reactions, notably dizziness, confusional states, hallucinations, somnolence, convulsions and coma have been reported, usually in patients with renal impairment in whom the dosage was in excess of that recommended or with other predisposing factors.
