I obviously can't speak to the consumer information you've received with your meds, but I've always seen side effects/other effects ranked by seriousness by grouping them with phrases such as the following:

If any of these effects occur, tell your doctor or pharmacist at your next visit...
If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly...
Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur...
Tell your doctor immediately if any of these highly unlikely but very serious side effects occur...
Seek immediate medical attention if you develop some of the following symptoms...
