However, despite taking the prescribed dosage you might experience common side effects like nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach upset, headache, nasal congestion, sore throat, respiratory tract infection and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level). Hypoglycemia is relatively common in patients who are taking Vidglit-M Tablet SR in combination with insulin or Sulfonylurea. Inform your doctor if you experience any persistent problem while taking this medicine.

Q. Can the use of Vidglit-M Tablet SR lead to hypoglycemia?

The use of Vidglit-M Tablet SR does not usually cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) on its own. But, it could occur if there is insufficient supplementation of calories while taking this medicine. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, fast heart rate, and feeling anxious or shaky. The symptoms are more likely to be noticed if you miss or delay your food, drink alcohol, over-exercise or take any other antidiabetic medicine along with it. Hence, regular monitoring of blood sugar level is important. It is recommended to always carry glucose tablets, honey or fruit juice with you.

Q. Can the use of Vidglit-M Tablet SR cause nausea and vomiting?

Yes, the use of Vidglit-M Tablet SR can cause nausea and vomiting. In case of vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small frequent sips.

Do not take any other medicine without consulting a doctor.

Q. Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of Vidglit-M Tablet SR?

The use of Vidglit-M Tablet SR should be avoided in patients with known allergy to any of the components or excipients of this medicine. The use of this medicine is also considered to be harmful for patients with severe kidney impairment, liver impairment, congestive heart failure, lactic acidosis or diabetic ketoacidosis.

Q. Can the use of Vidglit-M Tablet SR cause lactic acidosis?

Yes, the use of Vidglit-M Tablet SR can lead to lactic acidosis which is also known as MALA (Metformin-associated lactic acidosis). It is caused by increased levels of lactic acid in the blood. It is a very rare side effect associated with the use of metformin and therefore it is avoided in patients with underlying kidney disease, old age patients or who take large amounts of alcohol. Symptoms of lactic acidosis may include muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, tiredness, feeling of cold in arms and legs, difficulty in breathing, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain or slow heart rate. If you have these symptoms, stop taking Vidglit-M Tablet SR and immediately consult your doctor.

Q. Can the use of Vidglit-M Tablet SR lead to Vitamin B12 deficiency?
