Before you start, tell your doctor about any liver, kidney or heart problem, whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every other medicine you take, including supplements and ayurvedic preparations. Some of them can change how Tofashine 5 mg Tablet works.
Most side effects of Tofashine are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

Medicines that suppress the immune system need regular blood tests — do not miss them. Report fever, sore throat, mouth ulcers or unusual bruising promptly if you are on an immune-suppressing medicine. Tell your doctor about any infection, and before any vaccination. Methotrexate for arthritis is taken ONCE A WEEK. Taking it daily by mistake is dangerous — check the day on your pack.
Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.
