fever and chills
nausea and vomiting
numbness or tingling in hands or feet

If you develop a cough, dizziness, low sex drive, muscle pain, diarrhea or headache, call your doctor if the symptom or symptoms don't go away.

If you become pregnant or plan to get pregnant, tell your doctor -- Mavik can harm or even be fatal to a developing fetus.
