Side effects of Fortaz

How long do the side effects of Fortaz last after you stop taking it? ## Hi Mary - I did not find specific information as far as how long you could be experiencing side effects after stopping the drug.

DailyMed also has a pretty detailed list of possible adverse effects. May I ask what you are experiencing?
