What Causes Backache, Abdominal Pain And Constipation While On Zonisamide?

I am taking Zonisamide and I continue to have what I was thinking was a yeast infection or a UTI. I have back pain, abdominal pain, trouble with bowel movements. Can it be the medicine? Should I stop taking it for a week or so and see if I get some relief?

Hello,

It is not related to zonisamide.

As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and plan for an ultrasound scan.

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