Your doctor may do blood tests to check the liver more often if you have had high liver enzymes in your blood in the past.

  • light-headedness or dizziness
  • Abnormality of the eye lens (cataract), which has happened in some children and adolescents treated with TRIKAFTA. If you are a child or adolescent, your doctor should perform eye examinations before and during treatment with TRIKAFTA to look for cataracts

The most common side effects of TRIKAFTA include:

  • headache
  • upper respiratory tract infection (common cold) including stuffy and runny nose
