Adverse reactions are rare, with the most common one being skin rash. The very few cases of more severe reactions have been associated mostly with failure to follow label precautions. If you suspect an adverse reaction, stop using the product and consult your physician. Be sure to bring the product container with you to the physician’s office or the hospital.
