Always consult your doctor if you experience any persistent problems while using this medication.
Can the use of Glipijub M Tablet SR lead to hypoglycemia?
Glipijub M Tablet SR itself rarely causes hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). However, it may contribute to hypoglycemia if you don't eat enough calories. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, fast heart rate and feeling anxious or shaky. You are more likely to experience these symptoms if you miss meals, drink alcohol, overdo exercise or take any other antidiabetic medications with Glipijub M Tablet SR.
