Potential Side Effects of This Medication: 
This medicine may cause side effects such as gastrointestinal upset and urinary issues due to the increased burden on the kidneys from the injections. Depression is another potential side effect. Some individuals may experience urinary incontinence and/or diarrhea. Additionally, a few patients have reported an unpleasant smell. The temporary alteration in digestive system function caused by lipotropic injections can lead to extreme fatigue, as the body is unaccustomed to operating under these conditions. Mysterious pain in unrelated body parts has also been reported, with patients mentioning discomfort in the neck and hand regions. The exact cause of these pains remains uncertain. Some individuals have encountered joint pain and allergic reactions related to the injections. Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you notice any signs of an allergic reaction, such as wheezing, chest tightness, fever, itching, severe cough, cyanosis, seizures, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat. Additionally, reach out to your healthcare provider if you experience severe behavioral issues, chest pain or pressure, rapid heartbeat, intense dizziness or fainting, agitation, or severe headaches.
