Frequently asked questions
Is Dynaglipt-M Forte Tablet SR safe to use?
Yes, Dynaglipt-M Forte Tablet SR is generally safe to use when taken for the prescribed duration and dosage as advised by your doctor. However, some individuals may experience common side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach upset, headache, nasal congestion, sore throat, respiratory tract infection, and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Hypoglycemia can be more frequent in patients who are taking Dynaglipt-M Forte Tablet SR along with insulin or Sulfonylurea. If you experience persistent problems while using this medicine, please inform your doctor.
Can Dynaglipt-M Forte Tablet SR cause hypoglycemia?
Dynaglipt-M Forte Tablet SR usually does not directly cause hypoglycemia on its own. However, it may contribute to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) when combined with insulin or Sulfonylurea. Hypoglycemia symptoms include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, fast heart rate, and feelings of anxiety or shakiness. These symptoms are more likely if you miss meals, drink alcohol excessively, overexercise, or take other antidiabetic medications alongside it. This is why regular blood sugar monitoring is important. Carry glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice with you at all times.
Can Dynaglipt-M Forte Tablet SR cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, Dynaglipt-M Forte Tablet SR can cause nausea and vomiting in some individuals. If vomiting occurs, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small frequent sips. Seek medical advice if vomiting persists and you notice signs of dehydration such as dark-colored and strong-smelling urine and decreased urination frequency. Do not take any other medications without consulting your doctor.
Are there any specific contraindications for Dynaglipt-M Forte Tablet SR?
Dynaglipt-M Forte Tablet SR should not be used in individuals with known allergies to any components or excipients of this medicine. It is also considered harmful to patients with severe kidney impairment, liver impairment, congestive heart failure, lactic acidosis, or diabetic ketoacidosis.
Can Dynaglipt-M Forte Tablet SR lead to lactic acidosis?
Yes, Dynaglipt-M Forte Tablet SR can cause lactic acidosis which is also known as MALA (Metformin-associated lactic acidosis). It is caused by an excess of lactic acid in the blood. This is a very rare side effect associated with metformin use and should be avoided in patients with underlying kidney disease, those who are elderly, or individuals consuming large amounts of alcohol. Symptoms of lactic acidosis may include muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, tiredness, feelings of cold in arms and legs, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or slow heart rate. If you experience any of these symptoms, immediately stop using Dynaglipt-M Forte Tablet SR and consult your doctor.
Can the use of Dynaglipt-M Forte Tablet SR lead to Vitamin B12 deficiency?
Yes, long-term use of Dynaglipt-M Forte Tablet SR may contribute to Vitamin B12 deficiency. It hinders the absorption of Vitamin B12 in the stomach.

Symptoms of deficiency include tingling sensation and numbness in hands and feet, weakness, urinary problems, changes in mental status, and difficulty maintaining balance (ataxia). If you experience these symptoms, consult your doctor. Your doctor may recommend monitoring Vitamin B12 levels and prescribe a vitamin B12 supplement if necessary.
