It's especially important to avoid this medication if you have underlying kidney disease, are older, or consume large amounts of alcohol. If experiencing symptoms like muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, fatigue, coldness in arms and legs, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or a slow heart rate, immediately stop taking Vildee-M 500 Tablet and contact your doctor for proper guidance.
Can the use of Vildee-M 500 Tablet lead to Vitamin B12 deficiency?
