It should never be stopped suddenly.

The most common side effects of Dilpra 250 Tablet include headache, constipation, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weight gain, rash, back pain, and abdominal pain. Most of these are not serious. Continue taking the medicine, but consult your doctor if these side effects persist or become bothersome. However, if you notice a skin rash or redness, tell your doctor straight away.

Also, Dilpra 250 Tablet may rarely lead to suicidal thoughts and behaviors. If your mood becomes depressed, tell your doctor.

Dilpra 250 Tablet may not be suitable for everybody. Before using it, tell your doctor if you have ever had heart problems, kidney or liver disease, difficulty urinating, depression, or suicidal thoughts.

If you are pregnant, do not take this medicine without asking your doctor. Avoid drinking alcohol, as it may enhance certain side effects and increase the risk of seizures. You may need frequent blood tests to help your doctor make sure you are taking the right dose both before you start and while you are using it.
