Dizziness can be a normal side effect of this medication, according to the FDA, you may also experience nausea, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

It is best to finish your full course of treatment, unless your doctor instructs otherwise. If it becomes severe, you should consult your doctor.

Is there anything else I can help with?
