Are Sore Throat, Runny Nose And Weakness Side Effects Of Taking Lodalis?
Just wondering what the side effects were for lodalis? my husbband has been taking it for 2 weeks. Started gradually-is now taking 2 pills 2X a day. Starts on Wed. taking 3 pills 2X day. Feels like his cold is back-sore throat, runny nose, no energy. He had a cold the first of Jan. but got rid of it. Since it has come back since he started these meds, could it be caused by the meds?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Lodalis is used to help treat high cholesterol.
In a small percentage of persons who use this medication, sore throat, runny nose, coughing, sinusitis , can occur.
Sore throat in 3% of persons ( 3 out of 100 persons who use it), cough in 2 %, sinusitis in 2%, runny nose in 3%.
This means that it is possible that it is contributing to the symptoms.
He should speak to his doctor about this to see if the medication can be changed or discontinued for a short time to see if related.
I hope this helps
