Early discontinuation of therapy may affect its effect, so in the event of side effects, it is worth contacting the attending physician who, after collecting a thorough history, will decide whether the benefits of continuing treatment outweigh the possible risks and decide on further proceedings. However, if side effects prevent you from functioning normally and you are unable to contact your doctor, you can stop taking the medicine. You can also use the teleconsultation: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja I encourage you to read the article about whether, how and when you can stop taking medication: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-jak-i-kiedy-mozna-odstawic-leki Reporting side effects allows you to gather more information about safety use medications and update data about them, which may help other patients in the future. We wrote about how to report them here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane Side effects of drugs can also be reported individually: https://www.urpl.gov.pl/pl/produkty-lecznicze/monitorowanie-bezpieczeństwa-leków/zg elk-side-effect-0
