Final Thoughts on Nor-QD Side Effects

You may experience some or none of the Nor-QD side effects listed in this article. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to tell whether any particular side effect (such as nausea) is caused by Nor-QD or other factors. Therefore, make sure to let your healthcare provider know if you develop any side effects while taking the drug or if something "just does not seem right."
