    • Difficulty breathing.
 

Other Possible Side Effects

After medications are approved and are in use by the general public, healthcare providers may voluntarily report side effects. This information may point to possible side effects that were not seen in clinical trials. However, it is difficult (if not impossible) to tell how frequently such side effects occur or even if they are actual side effects, as they are reported voluntarily (and because the "side effects" could be coincidental). These reported side effects are known as "postmarketing experience."
 
Possible side effects of Endocet reported in postmarketing experience include but are not limited to:
 
  • Dehydration
  • Indigestion or heartburn
  • Taste changes
  • Diarrhea
  • Dry mouth
  • Low blood pressure (hypotension) or high blood pressure (hypertension)
  • Fatigue
  • Thirst
  • Headaches
  • Increased sweating
  • An irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia)
  • Seizures
  • Hearing loss
  • Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
  • Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or high blood sugar (hyperglycemia)
  • Red eyes
  • Flushing (redness of the skin, especially the face).
