Common side effects may include rash, weakness, and headache. Make sure to inform your doctor about any existing lung, liver, or kidney issues, as well as all medications you are currently taking, since they may interact with Opdyta solution for infusion. This medication is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and it is crucial for both partners to use effective contraception during treatment.
