Warnings for patients taking CYCLOSET. CYCLOSET can cause very low blood pressure (hypotension) and fainting, especially when patients are starting treatment or have increased the dose of CYCLOSET. Patients taking medicines for high blood pressure (hypertension) should be careful when taking CYCLOSET because they may cause blood pressure to drop too much. CYCLOSET may worsen psychotic disorders or reduce the effectiveness of medicines that treat psychosis. CYCLOSET may cause sleepiness. Patients taking CYCLOSET who feel sleepy should not drive a car or operate other heavy machinery until they feel alert. Patients who are taking dopamine antagonist medications should talk to their healthcare provider before taking CYCLOSET. The combined use of these medicines is not recommended.
Safety of CYCLOSET. No antidiabetic drug, including CYCLOSET, has ever been proven to reduce the risk of having a heart attack or other cardiovascular problem such as stroke. However, a 52-week study showed that CYCLOSET did not increase the risk of major cardiovascular events. In clinical studies, the most common side effects that seemed to be caused by CYCLOSET were nausea, fatigue, dizziness, vomiting and headache. Safety and effectiveness have not been established in pediatric patients.
