Common side effects such as dizziness, lightheadedness, upset stomach, drowsiness, nausea, and sleeping disturbances may occur during the first few days as your body adjusts to this medication.

Notify your doctor immediately if you develop irregular and rapid heartbeat, severe nausea, yellowing skin or eyes, stomach pain, extreme fatigue, dark urine, allergic reactions such as: itching, rash, severe dizziness, swelling, and trouble breathing. Tell your doctor of your medical history especially if you have liver disease, narcotic, or alcohol dependency, mental/emotional conditions, heart disease, intestinal/stomach ulcers, and any other allergies. Esgic Plus contains acetaminophen, which may cause liver damage. Daily use of alcohol, especially combined with acetaminophen, may increase your risk of liver damage. To prevent oversedation, avoid using alcohol and other sedative type medications while taking Esgic Plus.
