Inform your doctor about your diabetes treatment if you are due to have surgery under a general anesthetic. Tell your doctor immediately if you experience any deep or rapid breathing, persistent nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain as Glitz-M Tablet SR may cause a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis which is an excess of lactic acid in the blood.
Yes, Glitz-M Tablet SR is generally considered safe when used for the prescribed duration and dosage as advised by a healthcare professional. However, some side effects like nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach upset, headache, nasal congestion, sore throat, respiratory tract infection, and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can occur, especially in patients taking insulin or Sulfonylurea alongside Glitz-M Tablet SR. If you experience persistent problems while using this medication, consult your doctor immediately.
Glitz-M Tablet SR does not usually cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) on its own. However, it may contribute to hypoglycemia if you are not consuming enough calories or have an underlying medical condition. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, fast heart rate, and feeling anxious or shaky. If these symptoms occur, it is important to monitor your blood sugar level regularly and carry glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice with you at all times. Always consult your doctor before taking any other medication.
Yes, Glitz-M Tablet SR can potentially cause nausea and vomiting in some people. If you experience vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small frequent sips. If vomiting persists, consult your doctor. It is crucial to seek medical advice if any signs of dehydration (dark colored and strong-smelling urine, and low frequency of urination) appear.
Glitz-M Tablet SR should not be used in patients with known allergies to any component or excipient of the medication. Additionally, it is not recommended for individuals with severe kidney impairment, liver impairment, congestive heart failure, lactic acidosis, or diabetic ketoacidosis.
Yes, Glitz-M Tablet SR can lead to lactic acidosis, also known as MALA (Metformin-associated lactic acidosis). This is a rare side effect caused by an increase in lactic acid levels in the blood. It is important to avoid this medication if you have underlying kidney disease, are old age, or consume large amounts of alcohol. Symptoms of lactic acidosis can include muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, tiredness, feeling cold in arms and legs, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or a slow heart rate. If you experience these symptoms, stop taking Glitz-M Tablet SR and consult your doctor immediately.
Yes, long-term use of Glitz-M Tablet SR can lead to Vitamin B12 deficiency due to its interference with the absorption of Vitamin B12 in the stomach. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause anemia and nerve problems, which may further lead to tingling sensations in hands and feet, weakness, urinary problems, changes in mental status, and difficulty in maintaining balance (ataxia). If you experience these symptoms, it is essential to consult your doctor for monitoring of vitamin B12 levels and consider a supplement as advised.
