PALSONIFY may cause serious side effects including:

Gallbladder problems: PALSONIFY may cause problems with the gallbladder. Tell your healthcare provider if you have sudden pain in the upper right area of your stomach (abdomen), sudden pain in your right shoulder or between your shoulder blades, yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes, or pale stools.

Blood sugar problems: PALSONIFY may change hormone levels, potentially causing either high blood sugar (hyperglycemia), including diabetes, or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Tell your healthcare provider if you have problems with high or low blood sugar. Your healthcare provider will check your blood sugar when you start taking PALSONIFY or when your dose is changed.

Heart rate problems: Tell your healthcare provider if your heart is not beating normally.

Thyroid problems: PALSONIFY may keep your thyroid from releasing thyroid hormones, leading to hypothyroidism. Your thyroid function may be checked periodically during your treatment with PALSONIFY.

Fatty stools: PALSONIFY may cause your body to have problems with absorbing dietary fats. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any new or worsening symptoms, including fatty stools, changes in the color of your stools, loose stools, stomach (abdominal) bloating, or weight loss.

Low vitamin B12 levels in your blood: Your healthcare provider may check your vitamin B12 levels during treatment with PALSONIFY.

The most common side effects of PALSONIFY include diarrhea, pain in your stomach (abdominal) area, nausea and vomiting, decreased appetite, slow heart rate (bradycardia), high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia), and irregular heartbeat (palpitations).
