Hello,
Since you had been taking Effitas for a very long duration do not stop taking it all of a sudden for it may cause withdrawal symptoms. Effitas is addictive.
Take medications as prescribed by your treating doctor. Since Nexito has been added to your prescription, you should keep the treating doctor informed of all the other medications you might be taking.
All medicines have side effects that show manifestations when you become weak, dehydrated & stressed up.
Take nutritious food rich in calcium, iron & vitamins. Take high protein diet to avoid any side effects. Stay well hydrated. Take adequate sleep.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
