Sturgeon is a safe drug and you can take it, but also be aware of some of its side effects.
Drowsiness, Disturbances of the gut such as diarrhoea, constipation, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain,Headache,Dry mouth,Sweating,Weight gain (rarely with long-term use),Abnormal movements of the hands, legs, face, neck and tongue, eg tremor, twitching, rigidity (rarely with long-term use, mostly in elderly people - stop taking this medicine and consult your doctor if this occurs)Skin reactions (very rarely with long-term use)Jaundice (very rarely with long-term use)
