Well, it is not listed in the regular public monograph for this, but that is not surprising, they generally only list the first few most common side effects and I am not a doctor, not medical professional, so I cannot expound on whether it does or does not cause it. Your doctor is probably speaking from experience with other patients that have used it and medical findings.

If you are concerned about it, talk to your doc again and see if there might be other alternatives that you can use.
