Question

Is my mouth swelling because of Odimune?

I take odimune in the morning because I was never given a specific time. I am now experiencing swelling on my mouth can I change to evening?

Answer

Hi,

Thanks for your question. Although odimune is usually recommended to be taken in the evening some people do prefer to take it in the morning. This can make side effects like dizziness or mood changes more difficult, but this doesn’t affect everybody. If you want to change to take odimune at night it is fine to do so.

Swelling in or around your mouth is not a common side effect of odimune. Whether you take it in the morning or at night this is not something that your would expect to experience with this drug. It’s important to discuss this with your doctor or clinic to try and find out what is causing this and to get any treatment if necessary.
