Stop taking Carbimazole tablets and tell your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms:
• angioedema, a serious allergic reaction with symptoms
that may include swollen tongue, lips, face or throat

breath or cough

reduction in the amount of urine passed, fluid retention
and blood in the urine
