What may be the possible side effects associated with it?
Common side effects include local injection site reactions (redness or swelling). Headaches and nausea are also possible but these usually subside quickly. If side effects persist, consult your doctor. Additionally, there is a potential for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), multiple births, or birth defects associated with this medication's use.
