Is exhaustion and nausea a side effect of medication?
Patient: Hi, I started taking shelcal 500 since last week under doctor s prescription (since i was having severe leg pain for past one month). From the time im taking shelcal (alt days) im having trouble sleeping, having nightmares if i sleep in the afternoon, feeling tired, exhausted, and sever nausea and uneasiness in my stomach. Can this be triggered by shelcal since nothing else has changed in past 1 week. Doctor: Hi,  It can't be caused by Shelcal, it can be due to allergic reaction of your body to that drug. Change in diet pattern can help which contains more calcium.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. S. R. Raveendran, Sexologist
