Frequently asked questions
Is Glipijub M Tablet SR safe to use?
Yes, Glipijub M Tablet SR is generally safe when taken as prescribed. However, it may cause side effects like nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach upset, headache, nasal congestion, sore throat, respiratory tract infection, and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Hypoglycemia can be more likely if the medication is combined with insulin or sulfonylureas. It's important to discuss any persistent issues with your doctor.
Does Glipijub M Tablet SR cause hypoglycemia?
Glipijub M Tablet SR doesn't usually directly cause hypoglycemia on its own. However, it can occur if you don't eat enough calories while taking the medication, and there is insufficient intake of food or fluids. Symptoms include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, fast heart rate, and feeling anxious or shaky. It's important to monitor your blood sugar level regularly and carry glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice with you at all times.
Can Glipijub M Tablet SR cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, some individuals may experience nausea and vomiting while using Glipijub M Tablet SR. If experiencing vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids in small sips. Consult your doctor if the vomiting persists or you notice signs of dehydration such as dark colored and strong-smelling urine or a decrease in urination frequency. Don't take any other medication without consulting your doctor.
Are there any contraindications for using Glipijub M Tablet SR?
Avoid using this medication if you have allergies to any of the components or excipients within the medicine. It's also not advisable for those with severe kidney impairment, liver impairment, congestive heart failure, lactic acidosis, or diabetic ketoacidosis.
Can Glipijub M Tablet SR lead to lactic acidosis?
Yes, the use of Glipijub M Tablet SR can increase the risk of lactic acidosis, which is also known as MALA (Metformin-associated lactic acidosis). This happens when there's an excessive buildup of lactic acid in the bloodstream. It's a very rare side effect associated with metformin use and its potential for occurrence is higher in patients with underlying kidney disease, elderly individuals, or those who consume high amounts of alcohol. Symptoms include muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, fatigue, feelings of cold in arms and legs, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or slow heart rate. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop using Glipijub M Tablet SR immediately and contact your doctor for urgent advice.
Can Glipijub M Tablet SR lead to Vitamin B12 deficiency?
Yes, long-term use of Glipijub M Tablet SR can result in a deficiency of vitamin B12. This is because the medication interferes with the absorption of B12 in the stomach. B12 deficiency can cause anemia and nerve problems such as tingling sensations and numbness in hands and feet, weakness, urinary problems, changes in mental status, and difficulty maintaining balance (ataxia). If you experience these symptoms, seek medical attention from your doctor. They may recommend monitoring B12 levels and prescribing a vitamin B12 supplement if needed.
What is the recommended storage condition for Glipijub M Tablet SR?
Store Glipijub M Tablet SR in its original container or packaging, tightly closed. Ensure you follow the storage instructions on the package label. Do not use expired medicine and dispose of any unused medication safely.
