Do not skip or stop taking the medicine unless advised by your doctor, even if you feel better. During treatment, your doctor may recommend regular blood tests and scans to check how well the medicine is working and to monitor for any side effects. Stay active, eat a nutritious diet, and get enough to support your treatment and recovery.Common side effects of ALECensa Capsule include tiredness, constipation, swelling in the hands or feet, muscle pain, and changes in liver function tests. Some people may also experience slow heartbeat, skin rash, or vision problems. Most side effects can be managed with supportive care or dose adjustments, so it is important to stay in regular contact with your doctor.Before starting ALECensa Capsule, inform your doctor if you have liver problems, lung disease, or heart problems.
