An Overview of Clinoril Side Effects

As with any medicine, side effects are possible with Clinoril® (sulindac). However, not everyone who takes the drug will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, they are generally minor and either require no treatment or can be easily treated by you or your healthcare provider.
 
Several factors can affect the chances of developing Clinoril side effects, including:
 
  • Your Clinoril dosage
  • Your age
  • Other medical conditions
  • Other medicines being taken at the same time.
