Can the use of Ambiglip TM 500mg/20mg Tablet lead to hypoglycemia?
Ambiglip TM 500mg/20mg Tablet itself does not usually cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) on its own. However, it could contribute to the condition if taken with insulin or sulfonylurea medications and combined with insufficient caloric intake. Hypoglycemia symptoms include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, fast heart rate, and feelings of anxiety or shakiness. It is important to monitor blood sugar levels regularly, especially when skipping meals or consuming alcohol or exercising excessively without consulting your doctor.

Yes, some patients may experience nausea and vomiting while taking Ambiglip TM 500mg/20mg Tablet. In case of vomiting, drinking small frequent sips of water or other fluids is advised.

Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of Ambiglip TM 500mg/20mg Tablet?
Avoid using this medication if you have known allergies to any components or excipients. It is also considered harmful for patients with severe kidney impairment, liver impairment, congestive heart failure, lactic acidosis, or diabetic ketoacidosis.

Yes, there is a risk of developing lactic acidosis (also known as MALA) while taking Ambiglip TM 500mg/20mg Tablet. This condition occurs when lactic acid builds up in the bloodstream and may lead to muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, tiredness, feeling cold in arms and legs, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or a slow heart rate.
Can the use of Ambiglip TM 500mg/20mg Tablet lead to Vitamin B12 deficiency?
Long-term use of Ambiglip TM 500mg/20mg Tablet can potentially lead to a decrease in vitamin B12 levels. This happens because it interferes with the absorption of vitamin B12 in the stomach.

If you experience any of these symptoms, consult your doctor.
