• Avoid live vaccines during treatment: Do not receive live vaccines, such as certain shingles vaccines or the nasal spray influenza vaccine, unless your doctor advises otherwise, as your immune system may be weakened.

• Watch for signs of infection or shingles: Contact your doctor immediately if you develop fever, persistent cough, unexplained skin rashes, or painful blisters on one side of your body.
• Seek emergency medical care for serious symptoms: Stop taking Tofamed-5 mg Tablet 10's and get immediate medical attention if you experience sudden chest pain, difficulty breathing, swelling or pain in one leg, or symptoms suggestive of a blood clot.
