Understanding Side Effects

Severe allergic reactions

Tell your doctor or get medical help right away if you have trouble breathing, swelling of the face or throat, flushing, rash, fever, or a fast heart rate during treatment with VIJOICE.

Severe skin reactions

Tell your doctor or get medical help right away if you get a severe rash or a rash that keeps getting worse; reddened skin; flu-like symptoms; blistering of the lips, eyes, or mouth; or blisters on the skin or peeling skin, with or without fever.

Hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar
Hyperglycemia is common with VIJOICE and can be severe. Your doctor will monitor your blood sugar levels before you start, and during treatment with, VIJOICE. Your doctor may monitor your blood sugar levels more often if you have a history of diabetes. Tell your doctor right away if you develop symptoms of hyperglycemia, including:

• excessive thirst
• dry mouth
• more frequent urination than usual or a higher amount of urine than normal
• increased appetite with weight loss
• confusion
• nausea
• vomiting
• fruity odor on breath
• difficulty breathing
• dry or flushed skin

Pneumonitis, or lung problems
Tell your doctor right away if you develop new or worsening symptoms of lung problems, including:

• shortness of breath or trouble breathing
• cough
• chest pain

Diarrhea or colitis, or inflammation of your intestines

Diarrhea is common with VIJOICE and may be severe. Severe diarrhea can lead to the loss of too much body water (dehydration) and kidney injury. Tell your doctor right away if you develop diarrhea or stomach-area (abdominal) pain, or see mucus or blood in your stool during treatment with VIJOICE. Your doctor may tell you to drink more fluids or take medicines to treat diarrhea or colitis.
