Side-effects that may occur with Buccastem M Tablets are drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, inability to sleep (insomnia), agitation, mild skin reactions and low blood pressure, particularly in elderly or dehydrated patients (this makes you feel dizzy or faint, particularly when you stand up). Occasionally, local irritation to the gum and mouth may occur. Rarely, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and/or the whites of the eyes) and blood problems may occur. Also, rarely, medicines of this type may cause abnormal movements, tremors and muscle rigidity, and usually in young patients an inability to control certain muscles of the body, such as tongue, mouth, arms and legs, or subsequently, breast swelling (in men as well as women). These reactions are unlikely to happen with the low dose of prochlorperazine in this medicine. A combination of high temperature, pale complexion, muscle stiffness and changes in levels of alertness are symptoms of a serious condition called neuroleptic malignant syndrome. If you develop these symptoms you should immediately inform your doctor.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any undesirable effect after using this product.
