Hi
Welcome to HCM,
This is antioxidant and vitamin supplement contains Lycopene, Ubidecarenone,Zinc Sulphate, Selenium, Folic Acid and L-Arginine.
usually has very few side effects. Nausea, loss of appetite, upset stomach, or diarrhea may infrequently occur.
.A very serious allergic reaction to this product is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the following symptoms of a serious allergic reaction: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
Lycopene in excess amount may cause staining,selenium also in excess dose is toxic.
In your case it may not be related to drug but if you feel it stop the medicine and contact your treating physician.
Your symptoms are more likely due to anemia and mal absorption syndrome.
Please take care
Good Luck.
