 2  Ocular rosacea Nausea ! Then strong hunger pangs. For the first couple days, I had no side effects at all, whether I took it just with water or with food. Then the nausea began slowly, and by the 4th day I had to stop taking this. If I got through the nausea, this caused my stomach to "awaken" and feel empty and hungry. Hated to stop in the middle of treatment, but even with food this caused a near-vomiting episode, and that was enough !! This was prescribed for rosacea, and for chronic, asymptomatic eye-redness that has persisted for several months. F 28 4 days
