Just about every medication can have side effects. However, dewormers have minimal side effects. You can look on the Bayer insert for an all inclusive list of potential side effects. However, the main side effects that can occur are: vomiting, diarrhea and decreased appetite. But as I mentioned these are very rare. Best of luck with Chicharito moving forward. Take care!
