Increases in cholesterol or triglycerides. This can increase the risk for problems such as heart disease. Diet and other lifestyle changes are a first step. Medications such as statins and fibrates may also be recommended by your doctor.
Elevated blood sugar levels. Exercise, weight management, and other lifestyle changes may help. Your doctor may also recommend other medications to control blood sugar levels.

A buildup of a cellular waste product. Known as lactic acidosis, this uncommon issue can cause a wide range of problems, from muscle aches to liver failure. You may need to switch drugs.kidney stones can also occur so one has to take more water intake,side by side if any oppurtunistic infection then Cotraimaxazole for Pneumonia,Dirrhoea,toxoplasma ,cytomegal onfection,anti fungal for fungal infection and treatment for TB etc has to be taken.During start of such treatment "IRIS" or a special reaction may develop but subsides with steroid and regular treatment .
