  It is important to watch for symptoms like persistent swelling, difficulty breathing, or unusual bleeding. If these occur, seek medical advice promptly. Regular check-ups with your doctor are essential to monitor your response to the medication and adjust treatment if needed.

• Consultation with Healthcare Provider
  Always discuss any side effects you experience with your doctor before making any changes to your medication. Do not stop taking Perital 400 abruptly without medical guidance, as this may cause unpleasant effects.
