What are The Side effects of Pliva 434?

The side effects of Pliva 434 will clearly vary from one individual to the next but, in general, the common side effects of Pliva 434 are blurred vision, sweating, muscle pain, nervousness, constipation, stomach upset, congestion, headache and sleepiness. In some men, it can cause a long-lasting and painful erection, which may require emergency or even surgical treatment with permanent damage often resulting. For most people, Pliva 434 works wonderfully well in the very short-term and will certainly help them to fall asleep and also to stay asleep through the night, enjoying a greater degree of deep sleep. It is the following morning however when the side effects tend to set in. In many cases, this means a congested nose, feelings of tiredness and grogginess.

Insomnia is a very common problem which affects millions of people both in the short-term as transitory or occasional insomnia and in the long-term as chronic insomnia. In most cases however drugs will only ever provide a very short-term solution and the longer-term use of drugs will invariably make matters worse, rather than better. If you do feel the need to turn to drugs in the short-term to help with the symptoms of insomnia, then choose a drug that is designed specifically for sleep problems and not Pliva 434 which should only be used to treat insomnia.
