Brief Answer:
quite safe

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

Though naxpro L group of drugs are quite safe . But long term use are associated with side effects like
-headache
-nausea
-diarrhoea
-dark urine
-abdominal pain
-decreased magnesium levels etc.

These are common side effects. But may or may not occur. So it is generally adviced if anybody develops side effects to the drug or not getting relief with drugs then surgery is adviced.

Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Regards
Dr.Deepika Patil
