Apra, like any other medicine, can cause side effects. Among them, the most common are diabetes, insomnia, anxiety, anxiety, agitation, headaches and dizziness, drowsiness, sedation, fatigue, visual disturbances and gastrointestinal disorders.
These side effects may or may not occur in all people using the drug.
As for benzyl alcohol, which is distinguished in the composition, it plays the role of an excipient in the drug, most likely a preservative. If you are not allergic to it, you should not be afraid of using it. According to the EMA, the daily consumption of benzoic alcohol should be between 0–5 mg/kg of body weight in an adult. As an auxiliary agent, the amount of benzyl alcohol does not exceed this value. It should be remembered that according to the guidelines, benzyl alcohol should not be taken by children under 3 years of age.
