For the same reason that sleep aid labels warn you that the product might make you drowsy.
Just like if you buy a new clothes iron, it'll have a warning not to iron the clothes while they're on your body.
There are tons of these stupid labels now.
It's junk they have to put on there to give them a legal edge if someone sues them over something stupid. I think it all started with the broad who sued McDonalds because the coffee was hot.

Because a percentage of individuals had that side effect.
I know that doesn't make sense - why take a headache med if you might by chance getting a headache from that med.
I have run into that with the different migraine medications I have taken in the past.

This is called a "paradoxical" effect of medication-there are many meds that can have the side effect of causing what you are treating...
(But, no, this is NOT the same thing as a sleeping pill causing drowsiness...THAT IS the primary effect of the medication)
