VEPPANU can cause changes in the electrical activity of your heart and may increase your risk of abnormal heart rhythm problems, and sudden death. Your doctor will check your heart with a test called an electrocardiogram and check your blood potassium and magnesium levels before and as needed during treatment with VEPPANU

Have low blood levels of potassium or magnesium
•
Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. VEPPANU can harm your unborn baby
