Kriptan M Forte 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR doesn't usually cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) on its own. However, if you have insufficient calorie intake while taking this medication, it could increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, fast heart rate, and feeling anxious or shaky. It is more likely to be noticed if you miss meals, drink alcohol, over-exercise, or take any other antidiabetic medications together with Kriptan M Forte 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR.

If you experience symptoms of lactic acidosis such as muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, fatigue, coldness in your limbs, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or a slow heart rate, stop taking Kriptan M Forte 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR immediately and consult your doctor.

If you experience these symptoms, consult your doctor. Your doctor may recommend monitoring vitamin B12 levels and prescribing a vitamin B12 supplement if needed.
