- In general, common side effects are minor and will subside on their own as the body adapts to the medicine. However, should they worsen or linger, medical attention might be necessary. These side effects include having a hard time focusing, blurry vision, constipation, dizziness, being lightheaded or feeling faint, nausea, headache, stomach discomfort, seeing spots, fatigue, weakness and feeling unsteady.
- With these potentially dangerous side effects, individuals should immediately stop using the medicine and get emergency help. Serious side effects include having trouble breathing, chest pain, heart attack, rapid heartbeat, seizures, tremors, chest pounding, passing out and jaundice.
- When considering taking Tambocor, it is crucial to exercise caution and inform your physician of your medical history beforehand. Pregnant or nursing women should be particularly cautious, as it is not known for sure whether or not the medicine is excreted into human breast milk (which could possibly lead to damage to a baby). People who are planning or are currently undergoing any dental or medical procedures should be careful with Tambocor use as well (and consult their doctors beforehand).
- Drug interactions can occur when more than one medication is taken at the same time. Drug interactions could result in negative side effects as well as the increase or decrease of effectiveness in one or both of the medications being taken. Medications that could cause drug interactions with Tambocor include medicines for abnormal heartbeat treatment (antiarrhythmics), cimetidine, beta blockers (such as propranolol) and digoxin.
- If a Tambocor overdose is suspected, get immediate medical help. Some signs of Tambocor overdose include nausea, throwing up, slow heartbeat, seizures and passing out.
