Ixime Adverse Reactions

Ixime is generally well tolerated. The majority of adverse reactions observed in clinical trials were mild and self-limiting in nature.
Gastrointestinal Disturbances: The most frequent side effects seen with Ixime are diarrhoea and stool changes; diarrhoea has been more commonly associated with higher doses. Some cases of moderate to severe diarrhoea have been reported; this has occasionally warranted cessation of therapy. Ixime should be discontinued if marked diarrhoea occurs. Other GI side effects seen less frequently are nausea, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, vomiting and flatulence. Pseudomembranous colitis has been reported.
Central Nervous System: Headache and dizziness.
Hypersensitivity Reactions: Allergies in the form of rash, pruritus, urticaria, drug fever and arthralgia have been observed. These reactions usually subsided upon discontinuation of therapy. Rarely, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis have been reported.
Haematological and Clinical Chemistry: Thrombocytopenia, leukopenia and eosinophilia have been reported. These reactions were infrequent and reversible.
Mild transient changes in liver and renal function tests have been observed.
Miscellaneous: Other possible reactions include genital pruritus and vaginitis.
