Understanding Pantothenic Acid

Side Effects

Of course, pantothenic acid has side effects! The most common is an upset stomach. Other frequent ones include diarrhea, headaches, constipation, nausea, dizziness, and a sore throat. Abdominal pain is another common side effect! Some patients deal with urinary tract infections or new-onset diabetes when they take these supplements. Additional side effects are muscle pain, a lack of energy, and joint pain.

Some patients will see changes in the results of blood tests due to these supplements. Two examples are increased alanine transaminase and increased creatine phosphokinase! These supplements also cause flu-like symptoms and pancreatitis, though this only happens in some patients. Rare side effects include muscle wasting, jaundice, and muscle disease. Patients must report these side effects to their doctor quickly! This is essential when common side effects persist. They need urgent attention for severe diarrhea and vomiting as well!
