Hello,

Drugs sazo has some side effects such as nausea, vomiting, GI discomfort, etc but these are non-specific.

You should always understand that your doctor has prescribed sazo to your wife because she is suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and sazo is an effective drug for rheumatoid arthritis and its benefits clearly outnumber the risks. So don't worry and be positive.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
