Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to use J-Ring M Tablet ER?
Yes, J-Ring M Tablet ER is generally safe when used as prescribed by a doctor. However, you may experience common side effects like nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach upset, headache, nasal congestion, sore throat, respiratory tract infection, and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level). Hypoglycemia is more likely to occur if you take this medicine in combination with insulin or sulfonylureas. If you have any persistent problems while taking the medicine, please inform your doctor.
Can J-Ring M Tablet ER cause hypoglycemia?
J-Ring M Tablet ER does not usually cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) on its own. However, it could occur if you do not consume enough calories while taking this medication. Hypoglycemia can present as nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, a rapid heartbeat, and feelings of anxiety or shakiness. The symptoms are more likely to appear when you miss meals, drink alcohol, over-exercise, or take other antidiabetic medications along with it. Therefore, it is important to regularly check your blood sugar level.
Can J-Ring M Tablet ER cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, the use of J-Ring M Tablet ER may lead to nausea and vomiting. In case of vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small frequent sips. If vomiting persists for a long time, talk to your doctor about potential dehydration signs like dark colored and strong-smelling urine, and decreased urination frequency. It's important not to take any other medicine without consulting a doctor.
Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of J-Ring M Tablet ER?
Patients with known allergies to any component or excipient in this medication should avoid it. Additionally, this medication is not recommended for patients with severe kidney impairment, liver impairment, congestive heart failure, lactic acidosis, or diabetic ketoacidosis.
Can the use of J-Ring M Tablet ER cause lactic acidosis?
Yes, the use of J-Ring M Tablet ER can increase the risk of lactic acidosis. This is a serious condition known as MALA (Metformin-associated lactic acidosis) which occurs when the blood contains elevated levels of lactic acid. It is very rare and often associated with underlying kidney conditions, old age, or excessive alcohol consumption. Symptoms of lactic acidosis 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 notice any of these symptoms, stop taking J-Ring M Tablet ER immediately and consult your doctor.
Can the use of J-Ring M Tablet ER lead to vitamin B12 deficiency?
Yes, long-term use of J-Ring M Tablet ER can lead to Vitamin B12 deficiency. This is because it interferes with the absorption of Vitamin B12 in the stomach. A deficiency in Vitamin B12 can cause anemia and nerve problems such as tingling in your hands and feet, weakness, urinary problems, changes in mental status, and difficulty maintaining balance (ataxia). If you notice these symptoms, please consult a doctor who may advise monitoring of B12 levels or suggest a vitamin B12 supplement if needed.
What is the storage condition for J-Ring M Tablet ER?
