Not all side effects and not in every case require discontinuation of therapy. In the described case, the risk assessment should be carried out by the doctor who prescribed the drug and on this basis decide whether it should be discontinued. We do not have enough information about your treatment and health condition to help and clearly determine the appropriate pattern of conduct.
