When to call
Serious side effects are uncommon. Very rarely, the medicine can affect muscles beyond the treatment area and cause weakness, or difficulty swallowing, speaking or breathing, which needs urgent medical attention. An allergic reaction is also possible but rare. Annie goes through the risks with you before you consent, and you can contact her at any time if you are worried.
The clinic number is 07359 836026. If you are worried, call or message rather than wait. If you cannot reach us and it is urgent, call NHS 111, or 999 in an emergency.
