Serious side effects are rare but may include severe allergic reactions, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, and rash. If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Mimox may interact with certain medications, including probenecid, methotrexate, and oral contraceptives. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, to avoid any potential drug interactions.
