Yes, Tenenorm-M Tablet ER is generally considered safe when taken as prescribed by a healthcare professional. However, it's essential to follow the dosage and duration advised by your doctor. Like any medication, it may cause side effects in some individuals.
What are possible side effects of Tenenorm-M Tablet ER?
Possible side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach upset, headaches, nasal congestion, sore throat, respiratory tract infection, and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level). Hypoglycemia is more likely to occur if you are taking insulin or Sulfonylurea medications.

Tenenorm-M Tablet ER usually does not cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) on its own. However, if calorie intake is insufficient while taking this medication, hypoglycemia can occur. Symptoms include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, fast heart rate, and feelings of anxiety or shakiness. It is important to monitor your blood sugar regularly, especially when you miss meals or consume alcohol, exercise excessively, or take any other antidiabetic medications alongside it.
Can Tenenorm-M Tablet ER lead to nausea and vomiting?
Yes, Tenenorm-M Tablet ER may cause nausea and vomiting in some individuals. If you experience vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small frequent sips.

Tenenorm-M Tablet ER can potentially cause lactic acidosis (a rare side effect). This is a condition where lactic acid builds up in your blood. It can be particularly dangerous for patients with underlying kidney problems, the elderly, or those who consume alcohol heavily.
Can Tenenorm-M Tablet ER lead to vitamin B12 deficiency?
