title: Adverse reactions in connection with zimeldine treatment--a review.
abstract: The results of clinical trials have shown that the general level of side-effects is substantially lower with zimeldine than with tricyclic antidepressants. Data from ordinary clinical usage in Sweden and the U.K. (as opposed to clinical research experience) shows a similar picture. Hypersensitivity reactions, characterized by fever, myalgia and/or arthralgia, and transient increases in transaminases, occur in approximately 1.5% of patients. In rare cases potentially serious neuropathies have been reported.
