Megaflam MR Tablet is generally considered safe for most patients. However, some people may experience common side effects like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach upset, diarrhea, loss of appetite, dry mouth, weakness, sleepiness, and other infrequent or rare side effects. If you notice any persistent problems from the medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Can I stop taking Megaflam MR Tablet when my pain is relieved?
You should continue taking Megaflam MR Tablet as directed by your doctor unless it is for short-term pain relief. It might be discontinued if you have been using the medication for a certain period and are experiencing no pain.
Can Megaflam MR Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, taking Megaflam MR Tablet can trigger nausea and vomiting in some people. If you experience nausea, consider taking it with milk, food, or antacids.
