Frequently asked questions
Is Stabglu TM Tablet SR safe to use?
Yes, Stabglu TM Tablet SR is generally safe when taken for the prescribed duration and dosage as advised by your doctor. However, potential side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach upset, headache, nasal congestion, sore throat, respiratory tract infection, and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Hypoglycemia can be more common when taking Stabglu TM Tablet SR in combination with insulin or sulfonylurea. Inform your doctor if you experience any persistent problems while using this medication.
Can Stabglu TM Tablet SR cause hypoglycemia?
Stabglu TM Tablet SR itself usually does not cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) on its own. However, insufficient calorie intake while taking this medication may lead to it. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, fast heart rate, and feeling anxious or shaky. These symptoms are more likely to be noticed if you miss meals, drink alcohol excessively, over-exercise, or take other antidiabetic medications together with it. Therefore, regular blood sugar monitoring is important. Carrying glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice should always be considered for emergencies.
Can Stabglu TM Tablet SR cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, using Stabglu TM Tablet SR may cause nausea and vomiting. If you experience vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids in small frequent sips. Consult your doctor if vomiting persists and if you notice signs of dehydration like dark colored and strong-smelling urine or a low frequency of urination. Do not take any other medication without consulting your doctor.
Are there any contraindications for using Stabglu TM Tablet SR?
It is important to avoid using Stabglu TM Tablet SR in individuals with known allergies to any component or excipient. It should also not be used by those with severe kidney impairment, liver impairment, congestive heart failure, lactic acidosis, or diabetic ketoacidosis.
Can the use of Stabglu TM Tablet SR lead to lactic acidosis?
Yes, the use of Stabglu TM Tablet SR can potentially cause lactic acidosis, also known as MALA (Metformin-associated lactic acidosis). This is a rare side effect associated with metformin use. If you have any underlying health conditions such as kidney disease, are an older adult, or consume excessive alcohol, the risk of lactic acidosis might be higher. Symptoms may 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 using Stabglu TM Tablet SR immediately and contact your doctor.
Can the use of Stabglu TM Tablet SR lead to vitamin B12 deficiency?
Yes, long-term use of Stabglu TM Tablet SR may cause vitamin B12 deficiency. It interferes with the absorption of Vitamin B12 in the stomach. Deficiency can then lead to anemia and nerve problems, causing tingling sensations in hands and feet, weakness, urinary problems, changes in mental status, and difficulty maintaining balance (ataxia). Consult your doctor if you experience these symptoms. They may recommend monitoring vitamin B12 levels and prescribing a vitamin B12 supplement if necessary.
