IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

The most common side effects that may occur with CREXONT are nausea and anxiety.

It is important to avoid sudden discontinuation or rapid dose reduction of CREXONT. If you are discontinuing CREXONT, work with your healthcare provider to taper the dose over time to reduce the risk of fever or confusion.
