Yes, Tenlitab M Forte 1000mg/20mg Tablet is generally safe to use if taken as prescribed by a healthcare professional. However, it is important to be aware of possible side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach upset, headache, nasal congestion, sore throat, respiratory tract infection, and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level). Hypoglycemia may be more likely to occur when used in combination with insulin or sulfonylurea. If you experience any persistent problems while taking this medicine, consult your doctor.
Tenlitab M Forte 1000mg/20mg Tablet does not usually cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) on its own. However, it can increase the risk of hypoglycemia if you are not taking enough calories. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, fast heart rate, and feeling anxious or shaky. It is important to regularly monitor your blood sugar levels while taking this medication and have glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice readily available.
Yes, using Tenlitab M Forte 1000mg/20mg Tablet can cause nausea and vomiting. If you experience vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids in small sips. It's crucial to consult your doctor if vomiting persists and you notice signs of dehydration such as dark-colored and strong-smelling urine and a decrease in urination frequency. Always seek advice from a medical professional before taking any medication.
Avoid using this medication if you have an allergy to any of its components or excipients. Also, avoid it in individuals with severe kidney impairment, liver impairment, congestive heart failure, lactic acidosis, or diabetic ketoacidosis.
Yes, the use of Tenlitab M Forte 1000mg/20mg Tablet can cause lactic acidosis, a rare side effect. It is caused by increased levels of lactic acid in the blood. This condition is more likely to occur in individuals with underlying kidney disease, older patients, or those who consume excessive alcohol. If you experience symptoms like muscle pain, dizziness, fatigue, cold extremities, breathing difficulties, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or a slow heart rate after taking this medication, stop taking it immediately and consult your doctor.
Yes, long-term use of Tenlitab M Forte 1000mg/20mg Tablet can contribute to Vitamin B12 deficiency due to its impact on the stomach's ability to absorb vitamin B12. This deficiency may lead to anemia and nerve problems, causing tingling sensations in your hands and feet, weakness, urinary problems, changes in mental status, and difficulty maintaining balance (ataxia). Consult your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms and they will consider monitoring your B12 levels and possibly prescribe a vitamin B12 supplement.
